so, can someone tell me the difference between p-rec and the record function built in to tf2?
is having an stv enabled on the server the only way to manipulate the camera however you want, instead of the pov's p-rec and tf2's record function give?

P-REC automates the POV demo recording process for tournament mode
FogP-REC automates the POV demo recording process for tournament mode
so stv's are the only way to manipulate the camera?
No. You can manipulate the camera with POV demos, but you won't be able to see the character model of the player that owns the POV.
Although there may be other, more efficient ways, I know you can type "sv_cheats 1" and "thirdperson" into console on pov demos to get a third person shot, and through the use of some "cam_" commands, you can manipulate it further.

Not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for, but yeah.

If you have prec installed then type "prec_info" into console. It'll give you a list of variables you can adjust. It's a pretty powerful plugin

so you can make smooths and drive with a pov, and stv gives you a freecam with your own player model visible?
reddso you can make smooths and drive with a pov, and stv gives you a freecam with your own player model visible?
Yes. The POV doesn't cover the entire map though. Only stuff around you. For instance if you are back on gran last if you drive/smooth over to mid or something I doubt you will see anything going on there. I could be wrong though.

You are correct. Only the map will load, stuff like sentries or stickies won't even show up.
