YouTube has doubled the upload size limit..
Quick Share:
YouTube has doubled the upload limit for the normal YouTube users. The new updated upload limit for any video is 2 GB from 1 GB. This development comes at the heels of another news that the rate of video uploads on YouTube has increased considerably after the launch of iPhone 3G.
According to NewTeeVee, YouTube has already made it little easier to embed HD videos now. You can now simply add &hd=1 to any YouTube URL to play in HD. Now, it’s quite simpler: add &hd=1 to any YouTube URL to play in HD. There is also a “play in HD” option while you’re configuring an embed code to copy and paste any where else.
Barry Schwartz had actually got the upload limit was raised to 20 GB today, but a YouTube spokesperson said that the new max is 2 GB. Lucky guy, Schwartz must have gotten in on some user testing for cool kids.
It’s clear that HD videos are becoming a significant portion of the new YouTube library. YouTube raised the upload limit to 1 GB from 100 MB in the September last year.
One can probably expect some pirated full movie uploads on YouTube with this generous upload limit. YouTube has gotten strict against the copyrighted content and removed a lot of such videos. It is however still not free from all the copyrighted content and a simple search of your favorite Hollywood film might show you the complete movie on on YouTube in parts.
This upload limit might cause some copyright problems but that is a matter which YouTube has been dealing with since a long time.
