I don't think it can be converted to avi. The demo files have the *.dem extension and can be played only by the game cs. Not any other program. The file include any player move and every bullet ;P .

GbinaryR :: dont queston me boi ;)

you can play the .dem file in CS and then set it to export each frame as a .bmp - this leaves you with like thousands of .bmp's which can then be put together by something like bmp2avi to make an avi file - so yes they can be converted to avi...I know I have done it before :)

In this way you can i undestood that you while you play cs you save the demo on avi. My mistake. sry

Well it is also possible for Windows users to run Windows Media Encoder while playing the game to record it as WMV. Might eat up the processor and your frame-rate though... You'd have to play with the settings on WME to limit frame-rate of the video, resolution, etc... It is also possible to use WME to show instructions for installing patches, etc., in screen capture mode.

If you have WMV files can be converted into AVI/MPEG if you have the right tools. I can only manage an AVI, MQV (Sony's version of QuickTime MOV Conversion limited to 320x240 res), and a low resolution MPEG conversion though.

I won't have CS or HL until at least after Christmas but I'd really like to join in the fun. :(

Nice info though. I didn't know that.

I know this is going to sound really stupid, but honestly the only computer game I have ever played was solitare on my old win. box or GNUchess on my linux machine. What game is this you guys are going to be playing, and what do you do in the game? Also what does it run on? (currently i'm running debian linux, and Mac OS X) so I don't know if I have a machine to run it on. But if it looks cool I might get in.

Thanks for the info.

I play everything from action to strategy and RPG games.

My favorite games include

Batlle Field 1942, the whole Command and Conquer line. Age of Empires, Soldier of Fortune, Ghost Recon, Delta Force: Blackhawk down, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator, and Medal of Honor Allied Assault

Counterstrike: http://www.counter-strike.net/ is what we will be playing. I do believe you can run it on Linux, because a lot of the servers are running Linux so there probably is a port or they are running Wine.

Currently, I am addicted to Morrowind (I am most likely getting the expansion packs this Christmas), CounterStrike and Age of Empires. I do a lot of playing old ROMs too...

yeah the hosting company will be hosting the game on Red Hat.

The give us a shell and ftp access to it.

So whoever is responsible for installing mods and updates, etc will need to know *nix commands.
