    Is there something wrong with the long-form recording option in my Xbox One X? Unable to...


    I have gone through all the steps of reformatting my external HDD (WD 2TB USB3.0), setting it as capture location, selecting my desired resolution (4K HDR) and rebooting my Xbox if there’s a recording problem.

    When I start up my game and am ready to record, I press the Xbox button on the controller, tab over to the capture tab and select “start recording”. At this point, I am expecting the Xbox to record until either the 1 hour limit has been reached or I manually
    stop the recording (by hitting the Xbox button then the X button). I tend to record in 20-40 minute chunks. Free space isn’t an issue as the drive is newly formatted and shows 1.8TB available in the Xbox.

    In most cases, the recording stops by itself before I finish the footage and I’ll get that clip recorded notification at some arbitrary time. It could be a few seconds in, a few minutes in or just a few minutes before I finish the footage that I want recorded.
    In all cases, there will be footage lost and I’ll have to restart the game and recording entirely because the footage is useless to me if there’s a gap.

    I even make sure I reboot the Xbox before every recording attempt just to rule that out, even though that shouldn’t have to be done if it’s properly working. Does anybody have any ideas on what might be happening? Are there bugs in the Xbox DVR capture system
    possibly? Are there players out there who successfully and consistently make longer recordings without the recording stopping by itself? If so, what is your setup (like model of external drive)?

    Thanks for any help/suggestions you can provide.

    Steve L.

    Is there something wrong with the long-form recording option in my Xbox One X? Unable to reliably record for longer periods.

    Thanks for your reply. I suspect there’s probably something to the idea that there’s a bottleneck causing the recording to end. I have since tried a USB 3 flash drive and results are improved, though not consistent. When I do a restart of the Xbox and
    put the freshly formatted flash drive in and set it as the capture location, then fire up the game and start recording, it seems to let me record for up to the full hour without stoppage. Once I’ve exited the game and review footage in the media player, then
    it seems to become inconsistent when I try to record again though overall still less likely to occur. I may try a decent SSD with good write speeds to get it even more reliable. It’s good to know there’s someone out there recording at 4K consistently, so I
    appreciate the reply.

    Do you not have a chance of maybe streaming to a PC? i know that 4k HDR space requirements when recording are massive and can take up a lot of space.

    I've been having this issue for weeks. It randomly stops the recording itself and tells me a little while after, I tried all settings and 1080p did seem to last a little longer however it was still doing it.

    Here's the kicker though, we have a second Xbox one x in the house on the same network, I played the same game at the same parts and tried it for 4 hours and the 4k HDR never stopped. So that leads me to think that it's my Xbox that's the issue (I even tried
    all 3 usb ports just in case it was a port issue)

    I have a very, very fast Samsung ssd. It was 200 bucks i think last year for 1 tb. Same issue with xbox one x. I only capture in 4k hdr. Beyond that its pointless. So now, i don't capture. Xbox series x..... come on down!
