Re: battle recorder
you can only run battlerecorder in your own server... type in demo.recorddemo (name) in the console, you get to the console by hitting ` above tab. the file will show up in my comp, c, program files, ea games, battlefield2, demos. you have to move it to my comp, (username)'s documents, battlefield2, profiles, default, demos. then you can play it in bf2.
im not sure if that's what your question is about. if you just want to play a demo, you have to have played in a server that had battlerecorder on. then you click the community tab, and battlerecorder. then you select a bookmark on the left list and click download, if it works, the demo will show up on the right and you can click on it and play it. during the demo, hold t and it will give you the option of scrolling through players; hit q and you can do slow and fast motion and pauses. you move the camera like the ingame flyaround view. you can use spacebar to lock or unlock your view to a player.
does that answer your question? -
Re: battle recorder
Hardest part is finding a server that actually has BR working correctly. Sure you can select the filter but you'll be banging you head against the wall until you find a server where BR works properly.
I can assure you 100% our BR works. Join the server play a round, wait till the next round loads, hit esc goto the community section. The left hand column is the BR bookmark. Click on it to download it. Then you will see the BR downloaded in the right hand column. Click on it, then click play and you can view the BR.
A couple of things to remember. We store 100 BR demos, default is 30, which equates to 100 rounds obviously. Once it gets past 100 rounds it will overwrite the oldest BR demos. So get in quick to ensure you get your BR demo before its overwritten. If you leave that round before its finished you won't get the BR for that round.

Basic Rendering Instructions
Playing back a demo outside the client and recording your camera movements
This mode lets you record a camera path to go with a demo recording so that they can be played back together. The camera works exactly as described in the instructions above but all movements you make are recorded.
If working from the machine that recorded the demo, drop the demo.cmd file provided with this update (click here to download the demo.cmd file) into the root of the Battlefield 2 install folder.
If working from a client that has downloaded a demo from the game’s front end:
Create a "Demos" folder in the root of the game install folder.
Move the demos you wish to render from into the demos folder from their normal location in you’re my Documents folder.
Drop the demo.cmd folder found below into the root of the game install folder.
Launch the demo recording as follows
Launch the Command Prompt and browse to the game’s install directory.
E.g. type "cd c:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2" and hit ENTER
Type "demo.cmd +c " and press enter.
E.g. "demo.cmd +c mydemo mydemocam" will record a Demos\mydemocam.bf2cam for demo Demos\mydemo.bf2demo
Before quitting the game, wait for the message 'camera file closed' in the console or the camera file will be broken.
Playing back a demo with pre-recorded camera movements
This mode combines the previous steps and shows you a take with both the demo and camera tracks active.
Launch the game as follows: demo.cmd
To watch the demo with the default recorded camera use: demo.cmd -def
Rendering images to disk
This mode writes out an AVI file to disk based on a demo file and a recorded camera file.
Launch the game as follows: demo.cmd +r
A dialog box pops up where you can select encoder (Xvid or Divx is recommended) and the quality settings for that encoder.
If you want to stop rendering before the end of the demo, press 'R'
Capturing sound
This mode tries to set up an ideal environment for recording sound.
Launch the game as follows: demo.cmd +s
Use external recording software to capture the sound from the playback.
