YouTube gets uploader upgrade, file size boost


In spite of being the market leader, YouTube had some glaring omissions in the form of missing features. This included multiple file uploads and the file size cap of 100 MB per video. Competing services like Vimeo and Viddler , although not as popular had better features than Youtube.

Not any longer. YouTube seems to be in a full fledged revamp mode with the company making its erstwhile closed Beta multiple file uploader as an option for all users. With the new uploader, apart from uploading multiple videos simultaneously, users can also add metadata like the the clips name and tags while uploading the Video.

The Video file size limit too has been increased to 1GB – although some users had the option introduced back in 2007 November. Check the new uploader here
