What I do is just use VirtuaDub to crop the video precisely to a smaller widescreen format then downsize it to 720p at a higher framerate for added smoothness.

The demo player may be an issue with STO itself and not the demo launcher (which is brilliant).

I have not tried the rendering (screenshot) mode as I need to use the free camera.

I'm having an odd problem with the demo viewer. After working fine a few times, it suddenly won't open. Or at least it opens, immediately minimises and cannot be restored to the screen. I've tried running as admin, removing the 'downloaded exe' flag, deleting it, downloading it again, clearing out my demo folder, nothing makes any difference. It could be a windows problem, but this is a fresh build, it was installed only a month ago.

Any ideas? I'm a tech consultant and systems auditor professionally for 18 years, and an amateur programmer, so feel free to get as technical as you like.

Thanks in advance.

The problem might be that you have been switching screen resolutions. the tool remembers the window position in absolute coordinates. If the screen resolution was reduced since last use, it might have ended up "outside" of your screen.

I also found an additional bug in the auto-update system, immediately after 2.9.5 was released, so here comes:

2.9.6

- Fixed a bug where the auto-update system would display a wrong download version number.

P.S.: Please tell me if this causes any issues with multi-monitor setups (because I can't test that on my one-monitor machine).
Hope this helps

That did it. Thanks.

Unfortunately no, the demo interface for playback is totally separate from the game UI so you can't get the interface and your awesome rapid clicking skills in.

However, if you have decent video editing skills you can record another video from the game itself, crop out the skillbar and hull/shield indicators and overlay that part of the UI on your demo production. I do have a video made in this format (demo plus UI overlay instrumentation) but it would be against the forum rules as it's for another game.
