After you put it in quake2/baseq2/demos , you view it by starting up quake 2 and then typing 'demomap demoname.dm2' , press enter.

Alternatively, google up Demoplay, will automatically play when you double click the .dm2 file, makes everything fifty times easier, however im not sure they have a mac version.

Here's a link to demoplayer.  Using this, you don't have to take the files out of the zips, rename them, or move them to any specific folder.

This is how I play demos on my computer.
First you need to get a demo.  A quake2 demo is a file that ends with .dm2
You need to go into the quake2/baseq2 directory. Here make a new folder, named demos .
Keep all the files with a .dm2 in that folder. To view the demo, launch quake2 and bring down the console, hitting the tild

DM server is fucked. 2 point blank rockets from spawn and lava damage and player survived? WTF?" Also someone has fucked with the spawn points, every single time no matter how big the map you spawn right in front of the person who killed you last
