As a free uploader, I very much appreciate what you do!
I have a feature request. Twice now, I haven't been able to upload my video because it's over 21mb. If I was instead given an invoice to pay to upload it, it's highly likely that I would have paid it.
Thanks! I’ve heard your feedback loud and clear, but essentially it is more costly to implement and maintain with our current infrastructure. It’s easier and cheaper to raise the limit in a short term.
How long is the video in minutes? 21MiB should allow for at least 3-5m in 720p(HD) if compressed right. Try using Handbreak and encode for the web and keep resolution under 720p with 30fps or less. Do quality based compression and use 30 as the target to achieve good results
