A demo is a client- or serverside recorded replay.
Demos are used in [[Competitive Play|competitive play]] to prove the correctness of a played match and for creating [[fragmovie|fragmovies]].
Since demo files are really small, it's easy to share whole matches with other people which would be huge files when saved to an actual video format.


====Recording Demos====
To record a demo you need to type ''g_synchronousclients 1'', ''record nameofthedemo'' (or just ''record'' which will generate files with continuing numbers)  and after that ''g_synchronousclients 0'' into the console.
Some mods allow recording demos without having to use the g_synchonousclients command.
====Watching Demos====
You can watch demos by either opening the demo menu or by typing in 'demo [nameofthedemo]' into the console (without the []). The demos need to be in the base/demos folder to get recognized by the game.
====Files Types====
Jedi Academy on version 1.0 reads .dm_25 files while the update 1.01 uses .dm_26 files.
Jedi Outcast uses .dm_15 (on version 1.02 and 1.03) and .dm_16 files.
====Software Demos====
The term 'demo' may also refer to  a freely distributed piece of an upcoming or recently released video game. Demos are typically released by the game's publisher to help consumers get a feel of the game before deciding whether to buy the full version.
