[iAqua]

So have we found any new things with this update? Like, any hidden things?

I don't think so, no.

30 sec vids are useless! how am i supposed to create this with just 30 secs

The video feature works like Shadow Play. It saves the past 30 seconds of gameplay. It doesn't record your actual current play. I hope nintendo adds a realtime recording with unlimited length in the future.

I'm ok with only 30 sec of recording, i don't want to record gameplay but just highlights of the stupid things that i do.
If someone wanted to record gameplay for example to upload it on youtube they should use a capture card for better quality even if the switch could record 15 minutes like PS4 (the PS4 video capture videos have low quality or at least it looked like this when i tried it on a friend's console)

Hopefully Stability is up on controllers! Honestly though the batteries on mine seem to die just by not using them. If it makes them lose charge slower while in sleep mode; I'm up for a bit of stability!

Edit: Also for anyone who's wondering, The third party adapters coov n100 and magic-ns still work after the update and the controller update feature doesn't try to update them.

Hold on. Do I actually have to hold down the capture button while playing? How am I controlling the left stick then?

You hold the capture button -> You save what happened 30 secs before pressing the button.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing it up!

what's still shitty about the vid capture is you can only post it to fb and twit. no transferring it to the sd card to go edit on your pc than upload to yt/twitch

Take out the sd card and copy it?
Why would i want to post a 30sec Video to YT or Twitch?

That'd be USB audio support.

Has anybody tried updating their joycons (included in 4.0.0) and then seeing if they'd work with a system on older firmware?

 

[Xabring]

at long last! I can record video without hacking the console! 30 secs? o well, gotta workarround that anyway.

So anyone try it yet? In case if anyone was wondering, I did, and I got the encoding data according to VLC player, I compared it with the one on Nvidia shield tv so you anyone can see how much of it is common.

SWITCH SHIELD​

Minus the small difference in frames (They both are still 30FPS or trying to be close enough) only actual difference here seem to be that the Nvidia shield encoder uses 41000 audio instead of 48000, Probably cause it does record voice audio at the same time or another reason. Besides that they are both very much identical. Even though the Shield can record much longer than 30 seconds worth of video and at 1920x1080P by choice, it still is unable to do 60FPS. This is probably meaningless to some people but here it is anyway. As for how it looks on youtube or any On demand video stream sites, I dunno since i never uploaded any of them. But I can imagine that 720P at 30FPS in 2017 isn't as popular.

Transfer ("moving" from A to B) is still different from backup ("copying" from A to B or external storage). I really don't like that. At least Sony didn't force you to use their cloud service to backup your saves.

I get the difference and agree. It's still long overdue and better then nothing particularly for people who have two switches. It also means if you have a problem with your switch still within your return period you can deal with it locally instead of sending it back to Nintendo.
