The new update Xbox One Alpha introduces the capture in 1080 p and on external memories
The new feature allows us to choose whether to capture video and images with the Game DVR in 720 p or 1080 p ; so far the system could capture only to 720, and this news also serves to prepare the way for the arrival of Xbox One X which will have as an additional option, in addition to these two, even catching a 4 k.
However, Microsoft doesn't want the captured videos they take up too much disk space for the console, while 720 p the maximum length is 5 minutes, FullHD resolution is 2 minutes. But there is some good news: along with this news was also introduced the ability to save video and screenshots to USB memory .
By doing so, you can record up to a maximum of 1 hour of video at a time regardless of resolution, and once our videos and photos are stored, we can get them easily on YOUR PC you can then edit and publish wherever we want. Now you can record long gameplay sessions, perhaps to make YouTube videos without the need for external recording equipment, doing save the movie from the console directly to memory stick or USB disk.
However, there are two things that take into account: the first is that for saving videos and images you have to use a USB memory is not formatted to save the Xbox One games. In short, if you use an external drive for installation, this will not be usable. You have to use an ordinary PC formatted memory.
The second limitation is that the videos and pictures that you will save on external memory won't be shareable and downloadable on Xbox Live. Then you have to decide if your acquisitions are to share on Live or to bring them on PC: according to this, you can use the external memory.
If you are part of the Alpha Ring and have the update again, to set the resolution of the recordings/catches and the location of registration you will need to access the settings menu " Preferences ", then select " Transmit and acquire "as shown in the following picture.
