Hacking Question Is there a way to make videos longer than 30 sec?

[Deleted User]

Is it possible to patch the switch so you can record videos natively longer than 30 seconds?

Probably will be hard, not in terms of coding but in reliability and stability.

As theoretically, it will eat more ram than designed (if it works the same as ps4, where the recordings are live streamed continuously to the ram, then dumped to hdd when you told it to)

You could just record with capture card like every other person would do

Not like every person tho, there are plenty of people I talk to that just record 30 sec clips because that's all you need. If your live streaming that's one thing but most often then not even the people playing docked won't just have a capture card continuously attached to it, especially since their pretty expensive.

Though that a capture card probably will be the only way to record longer than 30 sec clips without some StreamtoPC magic that'll record the stream at the same time.

Doesn't Smash Ultimate let you record replays into videos or something? Could've sworn there was something Sakurai mentioned. Might be the only game to let you go > 30 seconds.

Seems like you can convert the replays into video format so you can play them even after the replays become unusable. Was about to check with the replays I've made until now -_- except...1.1.0 deletes all old replay data since their not compatible.

I wouldn't know anything about that. They really should allow more than 30 seconds, it's stupid.

I'm pretty sure it's a hardware limitation though.

Which is funny because the K1 Shield Tablet can capture video just fine. What I don't get is how replays on SSBU can be recorded into videos. *sigh* Too bad good video capture
devices are too damn expensive.

Nintendo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sure, the CPU isn't clocked as high as the K1 Tablet, but recording gameplay on such a processor shouldn't be THAT demanding. Hardware limits be damned.

Pretty certain that it has to do on how the OS "Handles" the Processing. I'm pretty sure the Switch is capable of handling recording, and live records as well (The shield does it. Hell, the phones of yesteryears can as well). It's just a matter of that being programmed on the first place, and i think that's not activated by default on the Switch OS (or maybe it is, but restricted, and that's the reason for 30s videos?), who knows?
