Use with e.g.
cl_cmd demotimer 20 "slowmo 100"
cl_cmd demotimer 59 "slowmo 1"
cl_cmd demotimer 60 "cl_capturevideo 1"
cl_cmd demotimer 120 "cl_capturevideo 0"
cl_cmd demotimer 121 "disconnect"
I leave it as exercise to the reader to create useful aliases, etc..
Note that only demos recorded with the patched csprogs will allow this..
Have fun..
EDIT: errors..
EDIT: Thanks MrBougo for guiding me through hacking this up
And also for the original idea of course 
EDIT: Updated diff to provide a hook called hook_demostart. This hook is executed right after playback of the demo started. With this you could do the following:
alias hook_demostart cl_cmd "demotimer 1 disconnect"
and then run a demo.. It will run until exactly 1 second into the gametime. Note that the start of the demo is not nessecarily at gametime 0.. No timing problems using defer anymore..
So to create a way to record e.g. the game from 0:10 to 0:20, you could do something like the following:
alias hook_demostart "cl_cmd demotimer 10 \"slowmo 1; cl_capturevideo 1\"; cl_cmd demotimer 20 \"cl_capturevideo 0; disconnect; slowmo 1\"; slowmo 100"
