Because I want to post videos of my Löve programs on YouTube 'n' stuff.
QuickTime has a screen recorder built in but it records the entire screen. I just need to record my game's window. Any program that handles that?

Re: Recommended screen recorders (for Mac)
Never use trully one but another way of capture is use the media player VLC. It have a capture mode. "open capture device","capture device > screen" but for the area you will need to input the values (no fancy mouse defining area I believe).
Also and with the tools you already had why not record all screen in quick time and later crop to desired area with iMovie.

There isn't a lot of FREE recorders for Mac but try this one

ffmpeg can record a section of the desktop, but you'll have to get your hands dirty with the command line. To find the position and size of a Window, you may be able to do this. I've only tried it in Linux, but I imagine it might work in OS X as well.

I tried that route before, but iMovie uses a fixed aspect ratio for its crop rectangle that I couldn't make to only cover the window I wanted to show.coffee wrote:Also and with the tools you already had why not record all screen in quick time and later crop to desired area with iMovie.

Re: Recommended screen recorders (for Mac)
You probably found a solution by now, but I use Quicktime (works very well)! So you don't need to buy anything.
You can record the whole screen, or just a portion of it, and there is an option to show mouse clicks
File > New Screen Recording… and it saves it as a .mov
You can use Soundflower to channel computer audio through a virtual microphone if you need to.

Hands down best software for this I've used is Screen Flow.
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.

Re: Recommended screen recorders (for Mac)
I use iShowU HD. The normal version doesn't cost all that much ($30) and works pretty well. The main downside is its bad performance. From what I've seen, I'd use ScreenFlow is I had the money to spend on it.
