Xbox One X won't recording 4K HDR clips / recordings

On my Xbox Series S i've noticed that setting the output to 1080p and also recording in 1080p seems to solve the issue... but this also means I cannot output HDR. It might be a conversion issue. Just got my Series X (that I ordered in March), but have not had time to see if there are any issues yet. I will definitely not run it at 1080p SDR just to get clips. Will try recording both in 4K HDR and 1080p SDR to see if there's any problem.

For number 1, depends on the resolution that you want to record clips.

On Xbox One X you can record up to 30 seconds on 4K, but when posted, they will we downgraded to 1080p.

On Xbox One S you can record up to 2 minutes on 1080p.

On Xbox you can record up to 15 minutes on 780p.

On the games that can't be recorded, we're yet to find if there is such list.

I have the exact SAME problem....finally figured out how to record clips more than 30 sec. Now all my awesome clips are stuck in this weird format that youtube won't accept.

Anyone know how to convert them to a format while keeping 4k/60fps HDR? I tried usual windows film/video thing but that downgrades to 4k/30 and has this weird tint which means HDR conversion failed.

I just want to save those clips

Recording internally. No external drives connected. Recording in 4K HDR for 30 seconds.

Hello Michael!

I found a few things as far as capturing goes:

Clip resolution is fixed at 4K HDR for certain games on Xbox One X—even if you’ve selected a lower default resolution.

At 4K HDR, game clips can be up to 30 seconds when capturing to your console’s internal storage.

To allow longer clips for the game you’re playing now, or to record at lower resolution, turn off HDR in Settings > Display & sound > Video output > Advanced
video settings.

Another way to record longer clips is to capture to external storage. Press the Xbox button to open to guide, then go to Settings > Preferences > Broadcast
& capture > Capture location. Depending on available storage, external clips can be as long as 60 minutes.

Not sure if this was the exact answer you were looking for but I'm still researching any possible solutions.
