Increase YouTube upload limit?

[TheUltimateKoopa]

No, no, not the 10-15 minute increase, I mean this:

Congratulations! Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes. Click the Upload button below to select a video.

How long, though?

Here's the full article on the Youtube blog... thing:

Your creativity isn’t bound by a time limit, so why should your video uploads be? Back in July we raised the upload limit to 15 minutes for all users. Starting today, we’ll begin allowing selected users with a history of complying with the YouTube Community Guidelines and our copyright rules to upload videos that are longer than 15 minutes.

So go find that movie you wrote and filmed last year and share it with the world! Or upload your son’s championship high school basketball game or the insightful lecture you just gave on the emerging economics of green tech. As long as it’s your original content, it’s fair game regardless of length.

This launch has been made possible in part by the continued advances in our state-of-the-art Content ID system, as well as our other powerful tools for copyright owners. Over 1000 global partners use Content ID to manage their content on YouTube, including every major U.S. movie studio and music label. We remain as dedicated as ever to building and improving the most sophisticated technology in the world to help copyright owners protect their rights.

Just click the “Upload” button at the top of the site to see if your account qualifies. And remember, if you’re uploading a video that was previously rejected for being too long, go into “My Videos” and delete the old video before uploading it again.

Now, if you go to the "Upload" page, and see this message, and are wondering what the actual limit for you is, there isn't one. Yeah, that's right.... UNLIMITED VIDEO LENGTHS FTW! I'm actually surprised, because I have 4 copyright claims by Sega of Europe when I uploaded Sonic 4 music back in May (well, I say 4, although they counted as 1 strike

), but well, I supposed 4 out of over ... whatever, 100+ is OK.

*checks sister's account <___<* YAY! Well she'll be pleased.

So, anyone gonna take advantage? You know what this means? A full LP of a game in one video? No more tedious splitting parts up and uploading each part, editing the description for each part, waiting for each part to process... just wait for the whole thing to process.. it may take longer, but you only have to do it once <____<.

Just to get it through:

YOUTUBE VIDEO LENGTH IS UNLIMITED TO USERS WHO HAVE A GENERALLY GOOD STANDING ACCOUNT

Not that it matters but ... DS Ultimate's YouTube account also has this ... shall we say privilege? I wonder if it applies to new users, or if you have to be a member for a certain amount of time, first?
