Xbox One will allow external video capture

4.6
Microsoft’s Xbox One console will let users capture gameplay via external recording devices, Microsoft Game Studios vice president Phil Spencer has revealed to Polygon. This means that YouTubers can capture gameplay to their heart’s delight.

The Xbox One will have a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) system, but that won’t stop players from plugging a capture device into the console’s HDMI ports.

“Yep,” said Spencer. “Exactly like it works today [on the Xbox 360].”

This means that users can capture as much gameplay as they like on an external device. However, the system will actively protect against unauthorised copies being made of content that includes HDCP.

“If all you care about is getting the gameplay, you’re fine,” Spencer said.

This follows the news that the Xbox One will be able to save the previous five minutes of gameplay internally, which players can then edit and share online.

Leap I guess this is a good feature..people will still use capture cards though.


That's the whole point. You still need a capture card to record gameplay to your computer. The HDCP system is for private content that can't be recorded like Netflix, Hulu, etc. It will detect if you are using a capture card, and if you are, it will prompt you to unplug your capture card or else you will be unable to watch the content. It works much like how the current xbox 360 functions.

Xbox One would have been pretty cool regardless, but having a built-in theater type system into the console itself is awesome!
