YouTube announced yesterday that it had increased the size limit for videos to 1 GB, and also introduced new software that allows users to simultaneously upload multiple videos.

If you’ve ever watched a feature film on YouTube, you know that files are broken up into increments and compressed severely. The new multi-upload application seems ideally suited for the purpose of putting such longer-form media on the site.

Google Video, YouTube’s “big brother” that offers non-flash videos for download, has a similar setup already in place. Files 100 MB and smaller are uploadable through a web form, while larger files and batch uploads through a desktop application. The Google Video uploader supports not only Windows, but Mac and Linux as well.
