"Congratulations! Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes." What? - General

[img]http://gyazo.com/2363d91937f90208f5d3d5aab1b1f568.png[/img] why does it say it can be longer than 15 minutes but then it says my videos can be up to 15 minutes?

Does it let you upload videos longer than 15 minutes on accounts created now?

Didn't got the message. I've got more than 5k channel views, 4 videos.

I was/am a director so I can upload how much I want.

[QUOTE=Bllasae;26584831]I was/am a director so I can upload how much I want.[/QUOTE] how hard is it to get director status?

Congratulations! Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes. Click the Upload button below to select a video. YAY [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] i have 1 account warning and i got it!

[QUOTE=koeniginator;26584969]how hard is it to get director status?[/QUOTE] If you made a 05er it'd ask you if you want a director or normal user. I can't fucking access [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/Starpluck[/url] . It's an 05er and I last touched it four years. I have no idea what the password is.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;26580744]I read on that forum link that it's for people who have a good track record for following copyright and community guidelines. Also the notification pops up on the Upload screen not the homepage.[/QUOTE] Almost all of my videos contain copyrighted material.

I never got that 'congratulations' message, but the upload page does say I can upload a maximum of 15 minutes

[editline]9th December 2010[/editline] Is there some other link/e-mail?

Stage6 had this from the beginning. :colbert:

Videos can be... High Definition Up to 2 GB in size. [b]Up to 15 minutes in length.[/b] A wide variety of formats you're kinda late though.

[QUOTE=Rangrgoto1;26589397]Videos can be... High Definition Up to 2 GB in size. [b]Up to 15 minutes in length.[/b] A wide variety of formats you're kinda late though.[/QUOTE] What? That's obviously just a fault on YouTube's end, you CAN actually upload videos longer than 15 minutes now. I've seen lots of people uploading hour long test videos. There's no possible way he can be "late", because that shit wasn't there 2 days ago when I uploaded a video that was 15 minutes and 35 seconds and had to reupload it at a smaller length. Also, when it's talking about strikes, I believe it means when a third party has actually claimed the copyright, not the stupid automatic system that blocks all of my videos in Germany because of "Jingle Jangle"

The video files can be up to 2 GB? What was the limit before?

I have had 4 videos taken down, 5 if you consider blocked in some countries, that's most likely why I didin't get this.

Too bad my account was disabled.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;26580920]Are you running on telegraph internet?[/QUOTE] My internet is fine, all websites run at their normal pace except youtube. I just cannot upload to youtube anymore, it just takes an absurd amount of time.

This is great news

Still no message :(

I think it may be going by channel views, videos, and when the account was made.

Well, when I try to upload, the upload thingy just loads indefinitely. Goddamn you youtube!

I got this too. :iia: [editline]10th December 2010[/editline] I also have 1 copyright strike against me but I still got the message and I can upload longer than 15 minute videos. :confused:

Just to let you all know, you need to have at least 10 videos for this to appear. I just uploaded my tenth and it automatically popped up.

Oh cool I can make very long videos now. Even though I haven't uploaded anything for a year, but still cool

Now all I need is a greenscreen.
