From Neil Clayton:
User specified capture size - The user can easily specify the size of the video to be captured, using an intuitive 'see through' video preview. Just drag the corners around to specify the size, and hit enter.
Fixed or follow mouse modes - Sometimes you'll want the capture rectangle (think of it as a movie camera that tracks your mouse) to follow the mouse, and other times, you'll want to capture just one area of the screen. iShowU can do both.
User defined audio/video quality - While internet connections are getting faster, it's still going to take a while to transfer a 5GB movie to your Mum. iShowU compresses audio using AAC, and video using whatever method you think it appropriate (it defaults to H264). In addition, you can specify the quality of the video to your liking.
Custom frame rates - When there's not much going on (i.e: you're not moving the mouse, just speaking) iShowU will capture at a lesser frame rate. When you start moving the mouse around (and the capture rectangle follow it) then it'll use a faster frame rate so that the motion looks smooth. Saves on bandwidth too!
Simple - iShowU is designed specifically to be easy to use. If you don't want to customize anything, it'll work straight out of the tin. All you have to do is hit 'Record' and you'll have a nice little video on your desktop in no time.
What's new in this version:
- Added the ability to have the recording auto stop after X seconds, minutes or hours.
- Updated references to help and documentation.
- Updated support request (ticketing) app.
- A couple of internal fixes.

"Stopped working for me Oct 8 2012. No support."
Version: iShowU 1.92.3
Pros
Worked okay for several years.
Cons
Constantly had an update to download before using.
Latest update cause video to be constantly 'compressing' without ever finishing.
Video was unusable.
No support, no help from forums.Summary
Don't work, can't get support.
Free QuickTime player is better. -
"Hours of frustration"
Version: iShowU 1.92.3
Pros
Easy to use with Final Cut Pro X
Cons
Lot of bugs. And I simply ignore crashes.
Summary
Already prepared raw footage for and published several screencasts using this software. However I am afraid today I am doing my last session. After each clip sent to Final Cut, I have to delete it from iShowU and restart the program. Otherwise it keeps overwriting all new clips with the content of the first one. Weird, but I got used to this "feature". Just copy, delete and restart. But today it started to include video from my web cam into the clips at random (well, it seems this happens each time I click the iPhone emulator window). Just crawled out from under my desk, pulling the webcam cable out, hopefully will film the last episode in the next 5 minutes and this will be the last time I use this software...

"waste of time"
Version: iShowU 1.92.1
Pros
looks cute
Cons
Takes hours to upload the final video and then there is zero information on how to access it. The service people didn't even know where it was automatically uploaded to. The idiot told me to look for it in my YouTube account. It wasn't there. How could it be if I didn't enter into my account for an upload? Fools don't even know their own software. Don't waste your time with these idiots and their haphazard software.

Version: iShowU 1.76
Pros
Easy to download and get going, simple to understand, works with the quicktime format therefore fast forward,stop,reverse,playback etc etc. good quality playback.
Cons
For what I want..NO CONS..!
Summary
simple to get going, easy to understand works with quicktime format I'm not out to create any great 'movies' I just want to record live online data and analyse it later.

"Great alternative to Snapzpro"
Version: iShowU 1.72
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
My number 1 complaint with Snapzpro was that you could not change the temporary cache folder location. I dont know why they think people want to use their OS drive as a scratch disk?
iShowU you allows you to easily change the temp/scratch disk location to another drive.
iShowU also easily allows you to choose QuickTime compatible formats/ codecs for easy output.
iShowU is also cheaper, even the pro HD version is cheaper than SnapzPro.
Both normal and HD versions works on Leopard 10.5.7 at the time of me writing this.
Great to see Kiwi developers working hard. -
"Save & Replace does not work"
Version: iShowU 1.68
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have been testing iShowU and comparing with other tools. Works quite well and is fairly intuitive.
IN my testing though, I found a small but annoying bug...if you try to save a recording with the same name as an existing file and ask to replace the original, iShowU still proceeds with the recording but at the end, the original file is not replaced.
Where did the recording go? (I suspect it is only in the temp directory). NO new file gets created.
Please fix. -
"Full Capture"
Version: iShowU 1.66
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Most screen capture apps use interframe compression (like an animated GIF) and variable frame rate to reduce CPU load and file size. Sometimes that is desirable, but it also makes iShowU, with its truly movie-like capture, a rare animal. iShowU also works under Tiger -- a plus for a recent task where I had to capture something in Classic (which Leopard does not support). This app is a definite must for your video toolbox.
