In Snow Leopard I could easily capture a part of the screen using this, but it does not work anymore with OS X Lion, so I wonder if you know any other approach to capture a part of the screen (a rectangular selection) in OS X Lion?

    So wait a second — flow, did you want to make a **screen shot** all along? The link you posted only talks about **images**, not **videos**. Why don't you accept the answer that is already there (it tells you the same thing as in the link). – slhck Sep 21 '11 at 09:30
  • sorry, I was talking about static screen capture, nothing to do with movies – Open the way Sep 21 '11 at 11:51

Shift-Cmd-4

Drag the rectangle and it writes a PNG to the desktop

Shift-Cmd-3 does the whole screen. But these are for still screen shots, not recording as a movie, if that's what you really meant.
