Same way as you do in vanilla doom.  You add the -record parameter to the command line and use the -warp and -skill parameters to set up the level and skill level you want to play
eg gzdoom -file anywad.wad -warp 01 -skill 4 -record mydemo
That will load anywad.wad and take you to map01 playing at skill level 4. When you quit, you should find a file called mydemo.lmp sitting in your GZdoom directory.
To play back the demo
gzdoom -file anywad.wad -playdemo mydemo
At no point should you add the .lmp extension to the demo file name. Gzdoom (as Doom before it) will handle this itself.
