Recording happens in the background, you can queue multiple renders using a batch file.
Uses SourceDemoRender, which is not compatible with Lawena, so you need a recording config (just grab mastercomfig ultra or something).

How it looks:

D:\Me\Desktop\RenderDemo>renderdemo -exepath "G:\Steam Library\Team Fortress 2\hl2.exe" -demo "demos\stv demo" -start 1500 -end max -out myClip -cmd "spec_player Me; spec_mode 5"

Demo: G:\Steam Library\Team Fortress 2\tf\demos\stv demo.dem
Output: D:\Me\Desktop\RenderDemo\myClip.avi
Start tick: 1500 | End tick: 8497 | Profile: both
Commands: "spec_player Me; spec_mode 5"

Starting SDR laucher...  TF2 has started, closed SDR launcher.
TF2 loaded with profile 'both'. Demo is loading.
Pass 1/2: Recording Video.
Recording progress |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>| 100%
Pass 2/2: Recording Audio.
Recording progress |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>| 100%
Recording finished successfully.

SDR can output avi, mp4, mov, or mkv. If extension isn't specified, the program assumes .avi

Thanks for sharing, I'll try it out. A similar thing exists called Ryukbot, but it has it's own flaws as well.
