Upload Size Doubles + HD Tips
Many of you have been asking for an increase in the size limit of your uploads. We're happy to announce that the size of standard uploads has doubled from 1GB to 2GB. The increase means you can upload longer videos at a higher resolution as well as large HD files directly from your camera.
In addition, the team has implemented some new features to make it easier for you to show these videos off to the world. The changes allow you to share links directly to the HD version of your video, as well as embed the HD version on your blog or website. Here's how:
* To share a link to the HD version of your video, simply append &hd=1 to the end of the URL. This means the video will start playing in HD as soon as someone follows the link. Cool, huh?
* To embed the HD version of a video on a website or blog, click the 'customise' button to the right of the embed box on the video page. Some options will appear; simply check 'play in HD'. The embed code that's generated will cause the video to start playing in HD as soon as a viewer clicks play. We recommend embedding HD videos at the largest size (853x505) for maximum enjoyment.
If you haven't yet started uploading your content in HD, see our Help Centre article for more information on how to do so. You can also browse some popular HD videos here.
Enjoy!

FIRST COMMENT! YAY
I LIKE HD. This will step up and bang to youtube. AWESOME!
All the above is a bit of a joke when lots of us are getting our videos cut in length and its been this way for over a week! take a look in the forums under (only partial video being uploaded) and please FIX IT!
Can you please allow the uploading of videos that are longer than 10 minutes for normal accounts?
LOL WUT
Why does the video not become larger when I click HD anymore?
It says "longer videos" but it's still 10 min. I think it should've said bigger capacity or something like that.
Here's an idea YouTube! Allow us to upload vids longer than 10 minutes! How hard can that be?
...wrong again...... we want LONGER....
Not a bad improvement - but how about doubling the LENGTH of videos we can upload, which is actually more demanded than bigger files?
2 gigs is ridiculous! especially if its limited to 10mins. fail again youtube! get it together and do something right, it's been a while
Excellent I can now upload short HD vids
Can we upload 20 minute vids now????
How about having a whole movie on one video?

I use Camstia or Windows Movie Maker to make them very simply. If you would like to know how PM Me on my channel.
I think video length should be at least 30 mins, especially if the upload limit is 2GB.
It's a good idea, now we want "normal" Youtube users to be able to upload longer than 10 minutes, about 20 minutes seems fair for normal users.
Nope, they haven't said anything about the time limit, by the looks of it, they've just increased the file size limit.
Which is pretty stupid, if you ask me, as 1gB is easily enough to fill up the 11 minute limit anyway.
2GB for a 10min video? That means 200mb/min are now possible. 28000kbits for audio & video is blueray quality right?
Now, 1 question comes to my mind:
Is Youtube slowly preparing to stream videos in Full-HD 1080p resolution ( 1920 × 1080 Pixel) in the future?
Yay! :D
Just thinking..
I want to report a bug with the new channel design and don't know how to do it. Could someone tell me how? Thanks.
This is awesome! Thanks for the tips!
