Record a new TF2 demo video.
If someone didn't know, TF2 can automatically record demos during a match in the matchmaking system. I have the files, but I'm unsure where they are and how to convert them for viewing. Since I'm recording all matches now, I've discovered some hackers and want to monitor them closely.
You must view them directly within the game. They won't appear as a video file. For recording, use a gaming capture tool like the one provided in the wiki.
Previously I handled this a few years back. I'm not sure if conditions have shifted. However, my approach (using the engine and possibly third-party tools) was to create .tga files from the demo and then combine them with VirtualDub. The wiki suggests you can render it straight to a movie file, which seems like a more efficient method than what I used.
