Headless .dem to video utility

We need a command line tool that can output video from demos in the background, without having to enter the game.

For example:

mkmov -demo=match.dem -pov=player -start=00:00:03 -end=01:00:00 outputType=mp4 recordAudio=true recordVoice=true showChat=true showAMXAnnouncements=false

Then for it to programmatically use the HL engine to build the video quickly instead of having to watch the entire match.

Hello @classicstrike, realistically, there will be no new, from scratch, utilities created for goldsrc era games. Sorry, but this is unlikely to happen any time in the future.
