LICEcap

LICEcap can capture an area of your desktop and save it directly to .GIF (for viewing in web browsers) or .LCF. In addition to .GIF, LICEcap supports its own native lossless .LCF file format which allows for compression, quality (256 colors per frame), and time-stamping. Features include record directly to .GIF or .LCF, move the screen capture frame while recording, pause and restart recording, with optional inserted text messages, global hotkey (shift+space) to toggle pausing while recording, adjustable maximum recording framerate to allow throttling CPU usage, basic title frame with or without text, record mouse button presses, and display elapsed time in the recording.
