DESCRIPTION

Capture Me is a screen capture and recording utility for Mac OS X which features a floating capture window and resize ability.

Version 1.3 has been rewritten from the ground up using Cocoa and OpenGL so it should be much faster than the previous version. This version is also a universal binary offering equal support for Intel and PowerPC processors.

To use the program, drag and resize the floating window to cover the area you want to capture. Then click in the window to capture the screenshot. You can resize it, copy it to the clipboard, and save it in a variety of formats and locations. Its behavior is customizable with respect to what happens after a capture. A newly added movie recording mode now allows up to a one minute long QuickTime movie (no sound) to be produced.

    HALODEMO002  Neat free recording tool. There is only one down side, it makes laggy shots when you make larger recordings.

    µø˜˚´¥  Great app, works well, and you can't beat the price.

    One question to the developer(s): why don't you allow capture of more than 60 seconds of video? I know that would be taxing on older machines, but I paid good money for my gigs and gigs of ram - let me use it!

    CHIMOOSOFT  A future version will allow longer captures; stay tuned.

    People interested in longer recordings should request this via email and a beta will be made available with that option.

    SPRINGHEELMAC  Ignore the negative comment below! This app is the BEST screen capture tool I've used. Works for ANYTHING, not just DVDs. Simply open it up, place the re-sizable screen on something and click it. It couldn't be easier! Kudos also for the different formats it allows you to save in. Great job!

    SCOTTY2SHOTS  Significant delay between submitting a capture command and the actual image capture. Makes precise screen-grabs difficult on-the-fly and time consuming using pause on DVD Player.

    ANONYMOUS  Working well for me and my Tiger. Just one thing... when I tried to save it as uncompressed TIFF, the pictures won't show. Otherwise the BMP files are working alright. Good job.
