YouTube increases upload size limit and adds batching

11 November 2007 18:58 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 8 comments

YouTube has announced that it has increased its upload size limit to 1 GB and introduced the option to upload batch videos.

The software however, is a separate download that must be run off the users hard drive. There is still the option to upload through the browser if you so choose though but the new size limit does not apply.

The new size limit should help to solve some of YouTube's video quality issues as the compression will not be as high as current videos are.

This latest move should also give YouTube another edge over the competition, because most offer only 100 MB maximum uploads.

*Originally posted by Hrdrk20:* Um, someone hasn't been to joox dot net. There is no filesize limit at all. That's because they don't actually host the files, but the links to the files. I mean, just how big can the largest link be? 100 bytes? [ + quote] This message has been edited since posting. Last time this message was edited on 3 May 2008 13:00
