How do I watch demos? They are in a .dev file format.

Also how would I go about recording. I have seen people making great CS videos. Specifically thePubmasters video. Good shiz :D
 
They should be in a .dem format, then you just put them in your \...\cstrike folder, open console and type playdemo name or viewdemo name (the latter opens a scrollbar which allows you to pause and move throughout the demo at will but may cause distortion if there are ingame voices recorded in the demo). FRAPS is a commonly used program to record demos for conversion to video formats, although you can use the console command startmovie x y, where x is the name of the file to record to and y is the FPS, although I believe this just creates a bitmap for each frame and you must use another program to string these together into a movie.

So to record a demo of myself I can do "startmovie"? How do I stop it?
 
No usually what you do is "record" which records the demo without lagging, then do startmovie x y, where x is the name of the demo file you're making a movie of and y is the fps. When you're recording the command stop stops the demo, when you're using startmovie I believe just bringing down the console stops it from capturing screenshots.

Alright. So I can just make up a name for the demo? Where will this file be located?

What do you mean by the FPS? I have to set an FPS where it will run at? It won't run at the FPS I play the game at?
