    Hi All.
    I have a quick question about Youtube.
    I know some people do Transformers toy reviews on Youtube, and I tried my hand at one last week just for fun.
    Problem is after I uploaded the video it was rejected for being too long. It was about 12 minutes.
    And I've seen videos on there which are longer, so I'm pretty sure I need to contact some one at Youtube to get permission. Problem is I can't find where to contact someone on youtube.
    Of course I looked through the contact area, and it wasn't much help.

    So I was wondering what is it I should do? Who should I contact?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Videos have to be under 10 minutes, unless you are a partner. Partners are people who make money off of their vids by letting YouTube put ads on them, but you have to have a lot of subscribers to join the program.

    So basically, you have a 10 minute limit for the foreseeable future.

    OOOOOOOH, OK. So maybe those 15 minute videos are Partners then. Thanks. I guess I have some editing to do.
