I found out how to record , I need to know where the file is stored or saved at, and how do you play it back? Thanks a bunch !

Demo files end-up under main/demos/<name>.dm_1 ... where <name> is what you put after the record command.

To play a demo, simply run the game, open the console and enter /demo <name>

I went into a game and in console typed /demo trinity, It threw an error and said could not write to file or something like that. Any ideas? Does this even work for anyone else?

Trinity, the demos folder get created after your first recording! Try this, start the game and load a map, open console and type /record test, play for a bit, then open console and type /stoprecord. Now play it back using /demo test. Get out of the game and go check under the main folder, you'll see demos and demos/test.dm_1.

I don't think this is something that can be converted to anything. The game is storing game state data to recreate the movement, etc.
