I want to record TF2, but Quicktime player doesn’t record in game sound. I need something that records both video and in game audio. Soundflower doesn’t work.

Depending on how much you care about quality, you don’t necessarily record directly from TF2. Instead, as explained on the wiki page linked above, you have TF2 export TGA files and you use a 3rd party software to create a movie from that.
As for Mac software.. no idea. I imagine Adobe Premiere does the job?
Otherwise: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mac+free+video+editing+software

So I don’t actually have to record anything, I can just download the demo?
Downloading a demo won’t magically make a movie for you. Read the page I linked in my previous post, it explains everything.
Recording in tf2 is generally done by playing back a demo, and then using a command to start “making” a series of images (generally .jpg). Every image represents one frame of the sequence that you recorded, this means, the higher the FPS you are recording at, the higher the amount of images.
You then use a program to turn all these separate images into one raw video file. I generally used virtualdub for this, but as Spike said, everything is explained in the link he posted in this thread.
