Does anybody know how the .dem files are structured? I know this is a shot in the dark as no one here would probably know it, but I figured I would try anyway.

I found the structure for .dem files, but for HL2 here

I also found a program that does this but no source code is given. here

Any help is appreciated.

Could you give me any idea where can I find any resources about it? Thanks a lot

The CS:S file is documented at the high level (which would allow re-authoring the camera track, etc.), but even for CS:S and Source games we don't document the low level .dem file format since it still depends on the networking protocols. We do have some projects in the work which would allow for better demo editing tools to be developed. However, no ETA on when those things would be shipped to users yet. Take care, Yahn

See and he is asking something different than I wanted. He wants to be able to edit the file, I just want to view certain key data from it.

the point of that conversation is that valve isn't going to release the structure of the .dem file to the public, so the only thing you can do is ask them for it.
