Demos recorded in soldat create files which only soldat can playback.  You have to open soldat and in the IP Address input in the 'join game' menu, type in the name of the demo and for port type the number 0 and click Join.  If you want to create a file viewable in your media player you need a program like FRAPS that creates a movie file in games.

Go to the "Fan Art and Movies" section http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?board=14.0 and you'll be sure to find better help!
Can't think of anything original to put here...

You have to play demos through soldat.

Open up soldat and click on the "join" tab. Then, put the name of the demo into the place where the IP would normally go, and put 0 (number, not letter) into the port. Click join and it will start playing. :)

Alternatively, you could get a demo player such as the Double Diamond Player, or whatever it's called which basically does the same thing but makes it easier on the user. (Not that it's that hard).

Edit: Beaten.  :P
