Lightscreen Portable is a simple and easy-to-use program to save images of your screen. Includes customizable hotkeys and ability to capture a single window, a user specified region, or the full screen. Can then save with an optional delay to a variable quality JPG, PNG (high compression), BMP, or to the system clipboard to paste into a graphics application of your choice.

Taksi v0.7.7.2

Andrew Lee on 12 Feb 2013
  • 320KB (uncompressed)
  • Suggested by Fluffy

Taksi is a video/screen capture tool for 3D applications. It can capture from almost any DirectX, OpenGL or GDI window and capture video of the contents. Although videos can be compressed, this is not recommended as it further slows down an already taxing process

Note: this application is still in development and some features are not yet implemented (such as recording audio).

Category:
System Requirements: Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP
Writes settings to: Application folder
License: BSD
How to extract:
  1. Download the installer and extract to a folder of your choice using the "MSI Administrative Installation" method.
  2. Delete the .MSI file (name varies depending on version eg. taksi-0.7.6.msi) and TaksiLogo.jpg.
  3. LaunchTaksi.exe.
Recommendations: Turning video compression off for the best performance. Click on "Config", then the "Format" tab, then the "Video Codecs" button. Select "Full Frames (Uncompressed)" from the drop-down dialog, then click "OK". The program will warn you that this uses up a very large amount of diskspace: click "OK" and then Save).

Snippy v0.41 Updated

webfork on 12 Apr 2013

Snippy allows you to capture a particular region of the screen to the Windows clipboard, able to be pasted into any program that supports it. If cutting out a portion of an Internet Explorer window, the URL will also be copied to the clipboard. The region is an irregular shape by default, though you can capture a rectangular area holding down the Shift key while dragging.

Category:
System Requirements: Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP
Writes settings to: Windows registry. But given the nature of the application and the small number of settings it saves, I think it can be accepted as portable.
Dependencies: Snippy requires GDI+ to run. If you plan to run it on pre-WinXP systems, you will need to download GDIPLUS.DLL and include it in the same directory as the EXE.
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the stand-alone EXE file to a folder of your choice. Launch Snippy.exe.
