you can eaither do what i explained above, if you want to skip to a tick right from the start use tickdontcare in starton, else your best bet is to start the demo and use the command:
demo_gototick <tickNumber>
demo_pauseatservertick <tickNumber> (might be useful)

type in demoui
in the demo user interface hit edit->new->skipahead: start on (use timeusetick) when play back reaches this tick will skip to tick specified in skip to.
use changeplaybackrate (think tahts it doign this from my head ) same as above


If your making a movie and have multiple scenes you want to capture in one demo lets say the following ticks:
1000-5000
15000-19000
19800-23000

Have your demo scripts setup like:
skipahead:
starton: timedontcare
skipto: timeusetick 1000
skipahead:
starton: timeusetick 5001
skipto: timeusetick 15000
skipahead:
starton: timeusetick 19001
skipto: timeusetick 19800
playcommands
starton: timeusetick 23001
command: stopdemo

So all you have to do is use the startmovie command and start the demo and it will do everything else for you.

Be sure to check out this movie config:

get the linked config:

skip step #2
step 3 is extremely helpful (use a standard webmovie rez ie: 800x600, 1024x768)

virtual dub (explained later in the tut) is perfect and free.
