OK, first of all, the Demos-folder you create goes into the mods/bf2-
folder and open the demo.cmd with right-click->Edit (or just demo.cmd in
the cmd-prompt) to see the actual commands you can use.

The cam-file you can create could be useful, but I think it's better to
use another renderoption. I'm not an experienced moviemaker, but using
FRAPS and run either the demo or the camdemo and encode in your
favourite encoder later, seems to be a better choice.

When you start the rendering process, the game loads up as usual. When
you would normally click "join server", you first have to Alt-Tab out to
select encoder, then "join server".

With xvid medium quality, I left it running for about 1/2 hour. Seemed
to be very slow, but like I said I'm not experienced in this. I forgot
to press "R" to stop rendering, so I didn't get a working avi. It
crashed when I Alt-Tabbed out of the game too.
