    Impossible.

    If we take a look at the replay files, their a matter of what 20-50kb?

    Obviously not a video file.

    My thoughts would be that the file only consists of a list of "actions" that occured during the game with a timestamp, then when you load the file with SC2, it can just re-create the game. Techically we're not watching a replay, but just a run through of what happened in the game (same thing I guess).

    Unfortunately this also means that anyone who doesn't have Heart of the Swarm installed, will likely be unable to open any HotS replay files because the game wont know what some of the "actions" mean.
