YouTube Raises File Limit to 1GB
With the recent announcement of a new multi-file uploader and new file limits of 1GB, YouTube is steadily moving towards becoming the video distribution platform of choice for content owners looking to build a global audience for their content and monetise that audience…
I know, I’ve seen YouTube’s InVideo ads in the UK. Yes, they are coming.
And they look pretty good, actually. The example I saw was much better quality than the video it was embedded in.
So … this announcement makes perfect sense. Particularly in the light of the recent Video ID announcement allowing content owners to block, promote or even monetise ‘illegally uploaded’ copies of their works on YouTube.
What would be the point in YouTube courting advertisers without first ensuring that the content that they can advertise against is sufficiently high quality? As in, the quality deemed acceptable on a medium these advertisers already understand: TV.
With higher quality video files, InVideo Ads and Video ID now announced, Google is quietly letting the world know YouTube is now ready to open for business.
As the largest video distribution database in the world.
Thanks to Marshall Kirkpatrick at Read/WriteWeb for the heads up.
