This utility is a total waste of money, how do they ignore the ability to capture a TALL window? Take a lesson from TechSmith’s snagit for windows and do it correct. Skip it!

An okay free video capturing tool is screentoaster.com

I tried twice to capture a video I was playing on iTunes. The video took up about 55 minutes, and I failed to capture it because Snapz required a temporary file on my HD of over 65GB. That exceeded the free space available. That’s a ridiculous amount of space to capture a video that had an original file size of less than 600mb. Not a practical solution for my needs.

I haven’t been able to find any apps for video capturing that are free. :( Snapz is good, but after 30 days or 100 snapshots, it will impose an annoying watermark. And you cannot simply delete and reinstall snapz, it modifies some file on your system to remember how long it has been installed.

[...] shortcut to take a full screen grab using OS X’s built-in capabilities (or to invoke Snapz Pro X 2 if you use that software). [...]

Khoi – Check out Paparazzi for full webpage grabs. I linked it in the comment above yours

I use Snapz Pro X every single day and would be lost without it. But I do have one complaint: it doesn’t include the ability to automatically scroll a Web page to capture the entirety of the page’s length. So, for a very tall screen, I’d like to be able to capture that object and for Snapz Pro to know that the page is tall and create a single image file that includes the full page. On the Windows side, SnagIt does this beautifully. I hope this feature is planned for the next version.

Ben – the point is, it eliminates any extra step. but if you’ve got it locked down to a good system for you, that’s terrific.
Since you say you take screens of webpages, you should check out Paparazzi

I will admit that the video capture capabilities are great, although it’s very difficult to keep the file size down.

I was extremely angry that on a fresh install of the product it had replaced my ‘Grab’ feature in OS X and had added itself without request to the start up item list – nice! :(

The software for me is too clunky and not the nicest to use, as others have said, if you’re not going to use the video.

But if you don’t want movies, (and I don’t, I take screenshots of webpages), why would you pay 29 dollers for it – Grab performs the other two functions easily, and I always run my grabs through photoshop anyway. In fact I have a number of templates that i can drop grabs into that gives them shadows, rounded corners etc. anyway.

Am I missing a massive feature?

Exactly my point – [Link]

Nothing even comes close to it.
