Basically you just bind record to a button and press it just before the map finishes loading. Hitting it many times fast usually makes sure it’ll start correctly. You can bind keys in your config.cfg file or typing in console, for example ‘bind "record "’.You can find more console commands here:[Half Life 2 Client Console Commands](http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/Half_Life_2_Client_Console_Commands)Demos are best viewed with command “demoui”.
