Glad to hear that works well for you too. As for drawing a perfect rectangle, there's an easier way.
1) Select Shift-Command-4 and then let go
2) After a brief, half-second pause, tap the Space Bar
3) Using the mouse, put the cursor over the Quicktime player window and left click.
This technique is my favorite screen grab method. It's been around for years and years but is not commonly known. It's a big time saver as it only grabs a particular window at a time which is almost always the desired result. It's color managed and leads to consistent color results. As Marco discussed, I like to convert my screen grabs to sRGB (for the web) or to the appropriate press profile for print work using Photoshop droplets. Leaving the screen grabs in the display profile can make for some large files, especially if you use high res LUT based display profiles. Cheers.
