YouTube Allows Multiple Simultaneous Uploads
Advertisements
YouTube looks to continue its video dominance with the release of a long-overdue and requested tool: a desktop uploader. With a simple download, Windows users can now upload several videos at once (Hold your breath Macs, your uploader is right around the corner). And better yet, the file size limit has been raised to a full gig. While at this time the length limit (10 minutes) is remaining the same, it’s clearly a move that will result in high-quality videos. The second implementation of this should result in longer length times. As users will want to archive their videos, it’s an inevitable move for YouTube if they want to stay at the top.
The next wave of online video appears to be HD. As recently as a few weeks ago, Vimeo, which has been in the online video game since 2004, opened its doors for HD video.
According to YouTube, it can currently take over 30 minutes for large files to appear on your page.
The upgrade comes on the heels of a tweak that improves the site’s flagging system - making it more consistent. The major change is that flagged videos will be reviewed by real-life human beings, revealing if the flagging is warranted.

YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.
YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.
Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.
