SnagIt is quite good (http://www.techsmith.com/products/snagit/default.asp), also see here (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=screen+capture&btnG=Google+Search), and here's some free ones (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=screen+capture+freeware&btnG=Search), never tried them though.

I think Macromedia ColdBreeze does this and saves the movement as flash.

Camtastic I believe is a program I tried (today) which works fine!

theres an excellent program called Camtasia Studio 2. it captures video output and you can even select the area you want to capture. has many features too. check it out.
