By the way, it's a serious threat to Vimeo.
I was thinking to start a premium account at Vimeo for publishing educational videos. Now I can go with Youtube.

#22bit offtopic here: i have most of the videos from arsdigita(aduni) courses - all in .rm format. Would anyone know of optimized conversion to youtube compatible format? uploading these lectures (with attribution) is something i would like to do.
Good plan. I have the DVD's if higher quality is needed (or maybe that's what you have too?)

The question is whether you would really want to go with YT?
I mean the quality of the comments, the quality of the design (yes it's sheit).
Vimeo seems like a much better space to seed your content.

Why not use both? I'd imagine the more views the better for educational videos.

Or even a professional online video platform if you need more control over quality and branding. There are several providers who offer plans starting at or less than $100/month.

#26"Congratulations! Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes. Click the Upload button below to select a video." I guess I finally have a reason to celebrate 560,016 total upload views :-) I wonder what I should upload first! Maybe I can do a 24 hour silent video and call it modern art.
You could start with Andy Warhol's Empire . It's 8 hours of the Empire State Building. Yeah, the Empire State Building... for 8 hours :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_%281964_film%29
Wow, that must be the only movie ever made that takes longer to watch than it did to make.
(It was filmed at 24fps for 6 hours, 36 min, but is shown at 16fps for 8 hours 5 minutes).

Not really. A 30 minute video file might be slightly smaller than three 10 minute video files but the difference would be negligible. What's happened is that YouTube has developed a way to identify infringing content, and profit from it. They can find an "illegal" clip of a TV show or movie, contact the copyright owner, and with their permission leave it on the site but serve up advertising alongside, splitting the r…
Gotcha. But wouldn't longer movies being in multiple pages/clips serve more advertising? I realize that the clips may not even be uploaded if a time limit is imposed, but I would assume that more clips = more potential ad clicks. I suppose also that the advances in Content ID (the copyright checking system) may only be effective on longer clips. All in all, there are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, a…
Youtube supports what are essentially commercial breaks on long videos already. The uploader can even choose to place them at logical breaks in the video.
I was watching some in-the-ER/ridealong-with-the-cops type videos on a Youtube channel the other night, and the video would be interrupted on occasion by video ads in between scenes, etc.

#28FTA: "The new feature will be available only to a subset of users who have never violated copyright rules"
I wonder how this works with the false-flagging and the DMCA abuse that I've heard of. While their algorithms can detect if your video has someone else's content, I'm not so sure it can detect if the usage is considered fair use.

Is "less than $100/month" supposed to sound cheap? That's still an order of magnitude more than what he was looking at.
Re: YouTube Lifts Time Limit for Videos
#30This is useless for 99% of the content creators out there. Only filmmakers/movie studios/or education use would benefit from this. People should realize that most online video content needs to be snack size (2-5 minutes MAX).
Audiences are too fickle to watch more than a few minutes of video. The average video is watched 2 minutes and then people taper off. They would rather consume more pieces of video (quantity) than more of a single video.
In the lean-back environment, this would be a different story.
