Please can someone tell me how to record demos in Gzdoom?

Same way as you do in vanilla doom. You add the -record parameter to the command line and use the -warp and -skill parameters to set up the level and skill level you want to play

eg gzdoom -file anywad.wad -warp 01 -skill 4 -record mydemo

That will load anywad.wad and take you to map01 playing at skill level 4. When you quit, you should find a file called mydemo.lmp sitting in your GZdoom directory.

To play back the demo

gzdoom -file anywad.wad -playdemo mydemo

At no point should you add the .lmp extension to the demo file name. Gzdoom (as Doom before it) will handle this itself.
