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.

MPAA So, its exactly the same as the XBox 360 then.

HDCP is disabled for gameplay but turned on for films.

The PS3 sucks for capturing gameplay as they force HDCP to be turned on at all times.
Yea, glad they're changing that with PS4, Happauge and other retailers have confirmed they're devices working on PS4.

Y2ki What if you record for a walk through and the music in the background is copyrighted does that mean it stops recording?


Maybe they will mute the sound or something? Or maybe they just will let you record it.

Oasis Wrong info. It continuously records the last 5min, meaning you don't miss something, also 5min is not the max record time.


Ehhh no you are silly. The CONSOLE records the last 5 minutes. But if you have an EXTERNAL capture device, aka a capture card (Dazzle, HD PVR, Black Magic, Elgato etc.) then they are confirming that it will work with the xbox one.
