Author's description:
LICEcap can capture an area of your desktop and save it directly to .GIF (for viewing in web browsers, etc) or .LCF (see below).

LICEcap is an intuitive but flexible application (for Windows and now OSX), that is designed to be lightweight and function with high performance.

LICEcap is easy to use: view a demo (output is here).

In addition to .GIF, LICEcap supports its own native lossless .LCF file format, which allows for higher compression ratios than .GIF, higher quality (more than 256 colors per frame), and more accurate timestamping. If you record to .LCF, you can play back the .LCF files within REAPER (and/or use it to convert to .gif or another video format).

LICEcap is GPL free software, each download package includes the source.

Features and options:
[*] 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.
[*] Display elapsed time in the recording.

My Opinion: Liberkey's selection of screen captures apps lacks an important feature - video capture. This app captures to animated gif which makes it ideal for uploading to image sharing sites and embedding in bbcode, unlike other similar options that save as flv or mp4.
In addition, this app is portable. you only need to place the licecap.ini file next to the executable.
