Anyone know of any useful apps to capture screen to compressed JPG (compression can be set)

I have tried this code in Autoit:

 autoit Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
; Capture full screen
; Fist parameter - filename, last - jpeg quality. 
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", "dump_full.jpg", "int", 85)
; Capture given region
; Fist parameter - filename, next four: left, top, width, height. Last one - jpeg quality.
; Set quality to any negative number to capture into BMP
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureRegion", "str", "dump_partial.bmp", "int", 100, "int", 100, "int", 300, "int", 200, "int", -1)
; Capture full screen
; Fist parameter - filename, last - jpeg quality. 
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", "dump_full.jpg", "int", 85)
; Capture given region
; Fist parameter - filename, next four: left, top, width, height. Last one - jpeg quality.
; Set quality to any negative number to capture into BMP
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureRegion", "str", "dump_partial.bmp", "int", 100, "int", 100, "int", 300, "int", 200, "int", -1)

and it does save the JPG but gives up an error like this:
AutoIT has detected the stack has become corrupt.
Obviously some sort of problem with the DLL

but if there's code for this in C or C++ or BASIC or anything that anyone has, I'll take it.... This application would be extremely useful for our I.T. Department.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks for reading

Stack corruption can be caused by getting the calling convention wrong.

Perhaps
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int:cdecl", "CaptureScreen" ....
