If I'm lucky, I'll have this available today. I was struggling with some codec annoyances that consumed a block of time I could have been using better, but I did figure it out and that's important.
Some screenshots (
jpg looks muddy but the PNG were enormous):
The auto-make AVI feature is what I got stuck on for a while, at one point I thought about delaying that feature. Some codec pack messed up something and the standard XVID codec pack has a quirk (it steals focus from full-screen JoeQuake and records a black screen).
Nevertheless, one button to make an AVI. Click ---> Done. Requires a codec, of course.
Some other screens.
Here is an example map list it produces:

I actually wrote some code to scan custom maps and identify which ones have monsters and therefore single player value. I might not have this in the first version because my goal is to get it completed first and add extras later.
It also can generate diagnostic information for posting in a forum or instant messaging to a buddy for why something is working or how-to do whatever. I've found all too often helping people with complicated problems is tough because I never get all the info I need the first time and often players with problems are the least likely to know much about their Quake/computer.
Example diagnostic output:

There are a lot of other features but I'll leave those to be discovered when I have the download available hopefully later today as planned.

release fast :p
Joequake may not be as known as some other source ports yet, but I feel that it is the best. With continued work, I think Joequake will become more of a dominant source port. Those screenshots of your launcher are looking great!
