YouTube increase in Upload limit for you?

[LiNuX]

I spoke to jango and a few others about this a few days ago but I wanted to know if anyone else's youtube account has this new feature. The new upload limit for certain users seem to be "no limit" - my account was recently upgraded to that and I was interested to know if anyone else has that.

The message shows up in the upload page:


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

It seems to be for those who have a history of complying 100% with the YouTube rules ..


Up, Up and Away - Long videos for more users

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.

I wonder if its a "HEY YOU WON THE LOTTERY" kind of thing.

if you're account is one of the selected then you don't.

That's basically what I did for my last video. It ran about 18 minutes and I had to cut out a segment. But my account was upgraded to this the same day, I just didn't notice until I edited and rendered the video.

Read a few posts back Dor .. the reason is clear enough and nothing to do with views.

Yar LE has this as well.

I've yet to take advantage of it but I'm sure I will as well as other LE members.
