Hi everyone!!

I always used FSCapture for my screen capturing needs till now as it used to be a freeware.But now those blokes have made it a paid software:mad: .So I need some other freeware for this purpose.Can you guys post the links to screen capture softwares you use so that I can try them out and decide which one best suits my needs.

Regards,

THe best I found is clipmate it captures not only screen but every thing on the clipboard even text. I Used that when I was developing my site & found that I could copy multiple text on the clipboard & later after 2 days I could paste that where ever I needed.

Winsnap is not a freeware friend.
Printscreen doesn't capture scrolling windows or any particular area on screen.

I am also using Screen Hunter from Wisdom Soft for several years & it is really good. I would like to know if any freeware for capturing the flash movies from web pages.

with print screen button on your keyboard you cannot take screenshot of a movie, but with this software you can...

HyperSnap DX, just give it a try, you won't be dissatisfied with it.

Most of the media players have the option of taking a movie screenshot.Why buy a separate software for it??
