Suggestion for Game DVR

If your wanting recommendations we need info, capture cards accommodate every market if you wanting a starting one to try the water then look for the Roxio ones, which are cheap, but the bottom end ones don't do 1080p, if you want more info give more info.

 

the files are NOT SAVED ON YOUR HARD DRIVE... let me repeat this... they are NOT on your HDD.. they are saved in a 5 minute loop in a temp cache then when directed, they are uploaded to the cloud. That cache deletes itself continuously for 5 minutes or when
the game is turned off.

@CH33 if your upload speed is that bad, then trust me, you do not want to record more than 5 minutes, let alone try to publish anything... you just do not have the specs for it.

 

^^ are we talking cache on a hard drive or cache in memory, either way there is a cost to the system where low quality 5 minute video clip is considered acceptable, but a 15 minute high quality clip isn't.

 

I would be interested in how it does work, but I can find any info use google, if you have a link it would be appreciated.

 

all clips will be stored locally, the os does not use over 100GB of the hdd by it's self, they will have a set cache of like 5 - 10GB for the recording, if you save them then they store on the cloud I think, the others will auto delete at certain times,
especially if you use dvr a lot and don't save.

 

You do not need to save them per say for them to be uploaded to the cloud. All of the auto records and record thats and DVR recordings are auto uploaded. Only thing that remains on your system is the 5 minute loop, Hence the reason why you can access those
from Smartglass or online.

@Enen.

A 15 minute clip of high quality 1080P 60FPS raw un-compressed video capture will use gigs of storage, not Mbs. Unless you have a superior internet, to compress, upload and push your file to the cloud will take hours for a single clip, not the 30 seconds
it does now.

Like It has been said. If you want to capture real video at a high standard... buy a capture device, a high end PC with TBs of storage and a very high end graphics card and get the best internet you can obtain.

I dabbled in recording. I have a Avermedia HDMI Pcie card on my old PC and to even record at half the max I could, a 5 minute file would take up 500Mbs of room.. that is HALF the quality. To convert it and upload it on my (at the time) 45/30 Fios speed took
1.5 hours. Trust me.. you do not want anything longer (besides nobody wants to watch 15 minutes of quick scoping on MW). I am sure for tose that record on quality gear, they can attest to what it takes.

What XB1 is bare minumum.. and TBH, that is all we need

 

Yes sorry I just wanted to clear up, my comment said clips are store on your HD, and you said they are not, and obviously I agree with you.

But I just wanted to clear it that there is still a cost to the console that a 5 minute low quality has a much lower impact in the system that a 15 minute high quality one.

So while the mention of clips was clearly wrong, the looped clip isn't. (more for my own info than anything else)
