cl_avimotionjpeg
Enables the engine's internal demo-to-AVI video rendering using MJPEG compression. This legacy feature is outdated and produces large, low-quality files; pros and casters use external tools like OBS or ShadowPlay for high-res captures with overlays and better compression.
💡
Pro Tip
Turn it OFF — modern OBS or ShadowPlay gives 4K60 with overlays and tiny file sizes; the built-in AVI is ancient and huge.
