how do you upload videos longer than 10minutes to youtube?

i have an old video of swedish program "tropicopop" which is littered with videogame references, i tried uploading it before but it always gets taken down because of the 10min limit?
the destruction of everything, is the beginning of something new. your whole world is on fire, and soon, you'll be too..

Youtube apparently gives out the unlimited video length/2gb file cap privilege to users randomly based on what they claim is lack of copyright infringement. It probably has more to do with viewership/ad revenue..

I heard a while back the limit would be lifted for all users but I guess they haven't followed through on that.

Loads of great stuff sir. Really, really good job on archiving these and sharing them with the rest of the world.

The ones that particularly floored me were those ActionMax videos. What a trip down memory lane! haha

Looking forward to your SS2 laserdisc!
