Youtube Raises limit to 15 Minutes

[LiNuX]

For years, unless you paid for it or had a load of viewers, you couldn't upload videos more than 10 minutes in length. Yesterday they changed it to 15 minutes. Wish they did this a few weeks ago, the alien swarm videos I uploaded had to be cut down because they were too long so the first two levels have a lot of things missing.

Interesting.... Do you know why?

[LiNuX]

Probably to get more interest, more videos means more views which means more ad money for them.

[glenofimaal]

Ok.... i see ;)

Thanks

I've seen like 42 minute long videos, and they weren't like super-popular youtubers either.

That's awesome. I had to re-edit my Bayonetta vids a few times because of the limit. Good to know!

They probably paid for it. I said above that there are two ways to get that and you either pay for special privileges or have extremely popular videos.

I have a professor that puts up educational stuff from time to time and they're usually 30-40 minutes long. He gets maybe a dozen or two views per video so he has to pay for it. I don't know where to sign up for that though, never took much interest to it.

How much do you think it costs? a dollar for 5 more minutes?

[LiNuX]

It's more of a monthly payment. Doubt that's the price though.

oh okay :)

Just think of how many gb's of video have been uploaded to youtube.

[LiNuX]

I wouldn't be surprised if they're in the exabytes right now.

[Jokersvirus]

Wow I would love to see the room that holds all those exabytes.

Plus when i start making some videos people will know my name, and the love of tacos i have.

[LiNuX]

They have many datacenters just like the main google website. I'd be surprised if it was just one room. But then again...it'd give me the hope I need to start something like that of my own.

If only...

[Jokersvirus]

well... since terrabyte hard drives are extremely compact its possible they could internet an entire room using those terrabtye suckers and get the job done
