YouTube Improves Video Uploader

Google just rolled out a new video uploader for YouTube.  It's the same one a few special customers have been using for while, so most of the kinks should be worked out. Don't worry that Google is still calling it a beta.  Google insists on calling everything a beta until half the world is using it.

Wanna give it a try?  Click on this link and give it your YouTube passwords.

What's better about the new uploader?

• It allows you to enter video metadata (title, description, tags, etc.) while the upload is processing. No more getting everything just right before you start the upload.  
• It allows you to upload more than one file at once, (No more need for seperate plug-ins). 
• Seperate progress bars will be displayed for each file you are uploading.
• The file-size limit for uploads has been raised from 100MB to 1GB. This allows higher resolution files to be uploaded, but most of us are still restricted to the 10 minutes maximum for each video. (See my earlier post for a way to get around this restriction.)  
• If you find you don't like the new uploader, just follow the link provided on the upload page to revert back to the old uploader.

Details about the new uploader are posted on the official YouTube Blog.
