MiniCapture 

With MiniCapture, you can record whatever your screen displays. This amazing program will capture videos of on-screen events and save them as AVI files. These AVI files can be later converted to MPEG (VCD, SVCD, DVD), WMV, MOV, RMVB, and SWF formats.

With this application you can record your screen, capture devices, take quick snapshots of your screen and save them to images, limit recordings to a selected window or a rectangle area on the screen, capture DirectX output, configure settings for a better audio recording, pause and resume recordings using hotkeys, make adjustments to frame rate for achieving higher or lower quality of videos, save quick snap images to clipboard, apply video compression settings, capture mouse pointer (or not), and convert AVI files with an integrated Windows Media Converter.

The current version includes features like capture preview, a new capturing and recoding engine, faster performance, lower cpu usage and better video-audio synchronization. It also features some minor bugfixes.
