Have a hard drive full of new videos? With the YouTube Uploader, we've now made it easier to get them all live on the site. This small piece of software lets you upload multiple videos to YouTube at the same time; each video can be up to 10 minutes in length and up to 1GB in size. That's right, no more compressing to 100MB – we want your big files!
Right now the YouTube Uploader is only available for Windows PCs but we're cooking up a Mac version too. To get started, just go to the installer webpage and download the software. Then you'll be able to access the Multifile Upload page and start your, well, uploading. These videos will be available in My Videos after they have finished processing. (Note: it may take 30 minutes or more for extremely large files to appear on your page.) We link to the Multifile Upload page from today's single file upload page so you can always find your way back.

They "want your big files" because, in the future, bandwidth will be much more plentiful and people will expect full-screen high-quality video. YouTube wants to have the original, highest-definition copy of each video. They will compress the download versions as much as they want for now, but when the time comes they will have the high-quality content on their servers. |
