The article says youtube vids are capped at 10min, but http://youtube.com/watch?v=EsEYpJMYIIw http://youtube.com/watch?v=EsEYpJMYIIw 30min vid

  I dont want to burst your bubble or sound like a smartass, but just want to clarify this. That video is 30 minutes long, because it is hosted on one of the older accounts before the policy was changed - signing up for any new accounts limits you in the limit and size of the videos you can upload (1gb and 10mins respectively). So in this regard the article is correct. http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=71673&topic=10527 http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer... Personal note: I suspect Google introduced this policy to ensure that Google Video is not rendered obsolete.

    so the limit doesn't apply to old accounts, even if they post stuff today. thanks. don't see why that'd be bubble bursting or anything. i wanted to know.

    are you sure that google introduced this limit? as far as i know, youtube had this limit quite a long time before being acquired.

      Yes, YouTube had that limit long before the acquisition.
