If your comp can handle the load, try recording the game using Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/)

Fraps is good for avi videos. If u want to release as demos, then there is a tool built into CS. Just one command to start and one command to stop recording. But I don't know the commands. Check out the console help.

wlee i asked about geekplay and xp nuthing else

rest i know all the procedure

i can share it for other`s

in Counter-Strike there is a command that you can type in the console to record your game while playing. Activate your console and then type:

record "x" where x is the name of your movie file

Now you are recording your game! Remember that the movie constantly records even if you die, and also note that the recording will automatically stop when the server changes level/map, so you have to record a new game with a new name.

To stop the recording, activate the console and type in the command:

stop

don't oversave any earlier recorded games, as this might lead to errors.

The completed record is called a demo file. It is saved in your Counter-Strike directory with the file name x.dem (where "x" is the name you chose).


now you have a demo,

Playback: the stage where you playback your demos and cut out those cool frags/kills that will be part in your movie. You need a demoplayer, for Counter-Strike the best demoplayer is Geekplay by bds, get it at http://www.geekboys.org.

After installing your demo player, choose your settings (convert resolution, strip teamsays etc.)

The first thing to do when the demo is started and rolling is to bring down the console and type this command:

startmovie "x" "y"
where x is the demo file name and y the FPS* (Frames Per Second).

After you've typed the command and pushed enter the console will be down, just follow these two steps:

-console is down, not printing, everything runs fast and smooth

-console up, printing, everything is slow (your computer is working his butt off!)

Just follow those two steps whenever you stumble across a part which youd like to cut out.


When your done simply type this command in the console:

endmovie

Quit Half-Life and open up your Half-Life folder you will see tons of .bmp (bitmap) pictures which you have printed/cut out. Now you need some serious program that will put all these pictures into a fully working movie

video mach is one of the best
