I am looking for very simple screen capturing application that outputs well compressed files. I does not need to be able to capture audio, video will suffice.

Do you already have the free media player VLC? If so you can just open it up and hit ctrl+n then type in "screen://". This will let you record the desktop.

As luck would have it I'm currently writing a post for the SuperUser Blog. You may find some answers in this thread, or alternatively, try Jing.

CamStudio is a good free choice. Output compression is configurable to taste or need.

Yeah, for simple screen recording, Camstudio is a good choice. You can install H.264 or xvid codec for best compression. – Paul The Octopus Dec 19 '11 at 10:20
