YouTube doubles video file size to 2G

"The increase means you can upload longer videos at a higher resolution as well as large HD files directly from your camera," YouTube said.

HD video is increasingly popular but the higher resolution results in larger files. A YouTube spokesman told AFP that while file size for individual videos was being increased to two gigabytes, the 10-minute length restriction for videos posted on the site remains in place.
