How to open file with .DEM extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .DEM file? Do you want to convert a .DEM file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .DEM

Full Name Developer Category
Recorded Game Format Valve Game Files
.DEM

DEM files are data files that are used to store a demo version, or playthrough record, of a video game. This file type is created by some games as an ‘autosave’ feature while playing the game. Some popular computer titles such as Quake III Arena, Age of Empires II, and Doom 3 may use the DEM file type. It also may serve as an auxiliary downloadable file from gaming websites giving players a demonstration of what the game looks and plays like before they purchase it or download it.

In general, pressing a game-specific button or combination will create a DEM file. Most often users can configure exactly when each playthrough is recorded as either an audio or visual file and stored in a pre-made folder. The DEM extension can be recognized by several applications which support video playback as well, such as Windows Media Player and QuickTime Player. Other more specialized apps like Fraps, ZD Soft Screen Recorder, and Movavi Screen Recorder directly support the retrieval of DEM files.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DEM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DEM extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DEM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DEM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DEM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DEM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DEM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DEM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DEM file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .DEM file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .DEM file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
