Recording/converting CS:S demos?

I’ve been doing a little research into recording Counter-Strike: Source demos (.dem) and converting the files into something usable like an avi. So far I haven’t had much luck. Instead I’ve been left using the free version of Fraps that adds a watermark and limits recording to 30 seconds. It just doesn’t seem like it’s worth the $37 registration price.

But I was able to use Fraps to create a tiny video of the cs_italy map, edit it in Windows Movie Maker (e.g. add some music), and save it. I guess that’s a good enough.

If anyone has tips/ideas, please pass them along.

Update: For those who asked, here’s the link to the video. No promises on how long it’ll be online.
