I'm not entirely sure what exactly you mean.

You want to convert .dem directly to a youtube ready video format? I'll do some googling I suppose. But Idk if that's really possibly. Demo files aren't actually a video file, it's just kind of a log of everything that's happened, and then source reanimates it everytime you play the demo. The easiest way to convert .dems to video formats is still fairly time consuming for little quality, and doesn't work in FF atm. Though I haven't checked since this patch, but for what ever reason it was broke in the last patch. At least, everyone who tried it couldn't get it to work. Idk maybe kube said he did.

Probly the absolute fastest way to convert them, would be to fraps it while watching the demo. Just off the top of my head.

Edit: Yes this is correct, .dem contains no frames or anything like that. It's just data. So either fraps or one of the other painfully long routes.
