this is more painful than linux, guess i will honor myself and just stick to Windows!!!

@VikingNightmare Woah! What honor is there in Windows.? Woah! Being a bit brash aren't we!

@tropophyte I am a Linux user for 3 years, i was actually kidding here, had the mood to be a troll, so yeah, just that i waited 10 months to get a response :(

Can it record a section of the screen? I can make the window I want to record full screen, but almost 1/2 is black space around the window I need to record.

@thriftybob If you're using Unix, you could use Xephyr or XNest to make a small window that acts like a whole X11 server. Attach x11vnc to the "fake" X11 server instead of your real one, and run your program fullscreen inside the "fake" X11 server.

does the sound capture too ??

[yusukeshinyama]

Sound capturing itself is done by a separate program (arecord in this case). But there's a script that automatically combines the video and sound and produces the final output, which is this.
