Max count depends on the demo type. Some games do not support play lists and

4. Adding a Demo to a Play List
There are multiple ways to add a demo to a play list. All methods are explained in detail below.
Method A - Using the File Menu
On the file menu click on 'Demo Menu' and then select 'Add Demo'.
Browse to a demo on your hard disk drive, select it and click on 'Open'. The demo is now added to the play list. Look at step 5 for the result.
Method B - Drag & Drop
Have you demo and the play list editor in view at the same time. Click and hold on the demo with your left mouse button and move the mouse onto the demo list. Let go of the mouse button to drop the demo. The demo is now added to the play list. Look at step 5 for the result.
Method C - Right-Click Demo
Right-click mouse button onto the demo and select 'Add to play list'. If Seismovision is closed at the time, Seismovision will open and add it to the play list. When Seismovision is already open in the background, the demo will be appended to the play list. This is the easiest and fastest way to create a play list. Look at step 5 for the result.
Method D - Double Clicking
Open the Play List Editor and now you can simply double click on demos and they will be appended to that play list. This only works when the play list editor is open, other wise the demo will be played back. Look at step 5 for the result.
The demo has been added. The demo type display now shows 'Call of Duty 2 (*.dm_1)'. As Call of Duty 2 does not support play lists at all, the demo count display only shows '1/1'. When trying to add more demos to this play lists, they will be rejected as the maximum demo count has been reached.
