You can open up the demo UI with Shift + F2

 

Good Tutorial on how to turn the demo into a video file (e.g. avi): http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=148196

Sometimes the demo recorder freezes your screen (known bug). The solution is to start recording the demo at the beginning of each match or leave/rejoin before recording the demo.

Code:

//With this script you can record 26 demos without naming them :) just hit F7 to start record. F8 stops recording.

bind "F7" "recorda"
alias recorda "record demoa;bind f7 recordb"
alias recordb "record demob;bind f7 recordc"
alias recordc "record democ;bind f7 recordd"
alias recordd "record demod;bind f7 recorde"
alias recorde "record demoe;bind f7 recordf"
alias recordf "record demof;bind f7 recordg"
alias recordg "record demog;bind f7 recordh"
alias recordh "record demoh;bind f7 recordi"
alias recordi "record demoi;bind f7 recordj"
alias recordj "record demoj;bind f7 recordk"
alias recordk "record demok;bind f7 recordl"
alias recordl "record demol;bind f7 recordm"
alias recordm "record demom;bind f7 recordn"
alias recordn "record demon;bind f7 recordo"
alias recordo "record demoo;bind f7 recordp"
alias recordp "record demop;bind f7 recordq"
alias recordq "record demoq;bind f7 recordr"
alias recordr "record demor;bind f7 records"
alias records "record demos;bind f7 recordt"
alias recordt "record demot;bind f7 recordu"
alias recordu "record demou;bind f7 recordv"
alias recordv "record demov;bind f7 recordw"
alias recordw "record demow;bind f7 recordx"
alias recordx "record demox;bind f7 recordy"
alias recordy "record demoy;bind f7 recordz"
alias recordz "record demo z;bind f7 recordend"
alias recordend "bind f7 stop;startaviend1;startaviend2;startaviend3"
alias startaviend1 "showconsole;echo Recording limit exceeded. Restart the game/re-execute the movie config to record again.
alias startaviend2 "echo Be careful not to overwrite previous recordings."
alias startaviend3 "echo Find your demo files in C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\username\source mods\empires"

bind "F8" "stop"

replace F7 and F8 as needed

 

Demos doesn't seem to follow the Commander view in command mode (it does follow but not in the way I want it to).
