how do you watch demos

[KillaGrunt]

OK i know how to watch them now how do i save them because i check in every sub-directory but what do you know no demos

[HarryButt]

If you can watch them, they're already saved. Somewhere. I can't believe that they're not in the demos-folder though.
Anyway, you might want to export them to real uncompressed video files to edit them later with your video editing software. So, I quote myself...

When the demo's playing back, you can open the console another time and type
cl_capturevideo 1
to start a direct export to an .avi-video. It may stutter, but in the end you'll have a better video quality than with any kind of screen capturing program. It takes some time and a lot of disk space though. So, be prepared. *
When you're finished with that, you'll have to open the console again and set
cl_capturevideo 0
to stop exporting.
Quit the game and start Finder -> "Go to" -> "Go to folder..." and type in
~/.nexuiz/data

Now you'll see your personal ultra-special secret Nexuiz folder which contains your configuration file, your download cache, your screenies, your demos and your exported .avi-footage.
All you need to do now is to put your footage into any other folder (like Movies ), start up iMovie and edit this stuff.
Have funskij!

* P.S: Before exporting .avis, you should max your settings to have a nice movie to look at later. After export is complete, you can return to your old settings. Yeah, and turn off your HUD & crosshair to see more of the screen.
I have two separate configuration files for this purpose, but there also seem to be prefabricated .cfgs around somewhere.

the demos are in the game itself. thats the only place i can find them

what video editing software

Any video editing software.
iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Magix videoDeluxe, VirtualDub... Windows Movie Maker...
It's okay, that you can watch the demos only ingame. You just have to follow my instruction and you will find some nice .avi-files inside of your hidden Nexuiz-folder.

[HarryButt]

Quit the game and start Finder -> "Go to" -> "Go to folder..." and type in
