Recording CoD4 Demos:
join dmw server and bring down the console. type "/record mydemo" (you can name the demo what ever you want instead of "mydemo"), you will see a demo time line start in the lower left. Record for as long as you want even if the server changes maps. Once your finished recording type "/stoprecord" in the console.
Watching CoD4 Demos, Option 1:
Open up your "C:.Program Files.ActivisionCall of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare.main.demos" (Vista users will find them C:\Users\'yourusername'\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Mods\pam4_402\demos\)
all your recorded demos will be here by default. If you recorded the demos playing a mod they will be in "C:Program FilesActivisionCall of Duty 4 - Modern Warfaremods" open up the folder of the mod you played and there should be a demo folder in there.
Take your mydemo.dm_1 and put it in "C:.Program Files.Activision.Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare.players.demos". Vista users: C:\Users\'yourusername'\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\demos (had to create a folder called 'demos'
Now run Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer, bring down your console and type "/demo mydemo" and your demo should begin playing. Type "/disconnect" to leave the demo.
Removed option 2 to be on the safe side

Be aware that there are several people saying that when you use the demo player linked to above that it has reset all of their stats. It's mentioned further down in the forum pages of the link.
Removed to be on the safe side, it looks like it had something to do with recent(ish) patches, seemed to work fine for me, but i have read elsewhere of the issue, I'll try and find another way :g:
