So recently I have been trying to find some program to convert Valve demo/replay files or .dem format and several sources said that VirtualDub can do that. But when I tried to open the file in VirtualDub, it came up with the error stating that it was an unrecognized file format. Am I opening it wrong, is the software incompatible, or is there an addon that I need?

From what I can see the .dem and demo files are not videos at all
They're a sequence of commands to the game itself which the game performs and draws on screen
Pretty much the same as if you were moving the mouse and pressing keys

Not openable by a video editor

You could record the screen when playing one by Fraps or similar I suppose
(not my area of knowledge)
