ya i am ver well aware of that... but i wached a full game play (from begining of game to the end) of hl2 and i dono how it was recorded so it can b wached by winamp, windows media plater and so on... how do u convert .dem files to .avi or something els?
That's a bit more complicated.
1. Record the demo.
2.
a. Get a recording program (like FRAPS) and record while watching the demo.
b. Use the built in 'startmovie' commands to create a massive amount of screen shots and a sound file.
3.
a. Due to the large filesize FRAPS tends to make, use a movie maker program of some sort to recompile it and make it smaller, (videomach, windows moviemaker)
b. Compile all the screen shots and sound files you have into a movie using a movie making program (listed above).
That's a light outline of what goes into making a movie out of a demo. Filesizes can get VERY large so make sure you have a lot of extra space.
