YouTube makes video length unlimited for some users
YouTube has begun lifting the previously-enforced 15-minute video length limit for some users, the company has announced in a blog post today. The limit had been raised to 15 minutes for all users (up from 10 minutes prior to that) back in July. As of today, users "with a history of complying with the YouTube Community Guidelines" and the copyright rules that YouTube enforces will be able to upload videos of unlimited length.The only requirement seems to be for the videos you upload to constitute original content. YouTube says that today's enhancement was made possible by the continued improvement of its tools for copyright owners.
If YouTube ever decides to let everyone upload unlimited length videos (or at least the majority of its users), it will be interesting to see what effect that will have on the quality of the videos on the site, since, like Twitter, YouTube has always been about working within the service's imposed brevity.
To find out if you're in the subset of users who already have the ability to upload longer videos, just click on 'Upload' in the top right corner of YouTube once you're logged in.

Oh great, I can't wait to try and watch an hour-long video that has to stop and buffer every 3 minutes. Maybe they should work on their bandwidth capacity first.

@Zorque I wasn't sure if it was some of the sites (like youtube) or if Comcast was screwing around with certain feeds again.

oh nice, mine can upload "Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes.". wonder if having an old Director account (before they ended that program, but the permissions were still set on those that had them) helped.
but I'll have to agree with Zorqe, their bandwith has been really crappy as of late. didnt used to be this bad tho

Nice news, :)
yeah, easier and cooler for those who record movies and TV to upload per time.
BTW: then this tips "How to upload and edit YouTube videos" in iFunia seems also make sense for those sharing ;)
