Playing back old DOOM 2 v1.9 mod demos?

Hello.
Many years ago, I used DOSbox and the old DOOM DOS files to play back
and record demos in my old DOOM 2 mods with their own custom pwads,
DeHackEd (deh), etc.:
http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/file...oom/j2doom.html ... They were only
320x240 and blurry. I'd like to do higher resolutions, better graphics
(Doomsday?), etc. Can any of the newer DOOM programs do this?
Thank you in advance. :)

look, along with the daughter project prboomplus.

Thanks, but I am having two issues:
1. How do I select a specific ingame demo in my WAD? I have three of
them. I don't want to record all three at once. One of them is about 30
minutes long!
2. After doing two quick test records, my video demo playbacks are
showing gameplays too fast (audio was fine) in both Media Player
Classic-Home Cinema and VideoLAN Client players. How do I fix this? :(
Thank you in advance. :)

Ugh, pain in the butt. So after the demo ends, then the recording stop
or do I have to be there to stop recording?

I am using whatever the latest 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP3 compatible
tools that its documents (prboom-plus-2.5.1.3-win32's
prboom-plus-2.5.1.3\usage.txt) mentions:
"VIDEO CAPTURE
This feature allows you to record movie files, suitable for viewing or
upload to websites.
Prboom-plus uses external command line encoding tools to accomplish
this. You will need the following:
oggenc2 ;ogg vorbis audio encoder

x264 ;h264 video encoder http://x264.nl/

Yeah, I was hoping there was a way to play only specific demos directly
from my old WAD files from the 1990s/90s. :)

It's actually not needed. -playdemo works on names of demo lumps in wads.

Sweet that will work. Now, how to fix my video playback capture issue...

Although as mentioned elsewhere, it's not necessary, use deutex.
