Does YouTube give some users a longer time limit?

One of several segments of an interview with Ricardo Montalban, almost 30 mins, posted just this last March.

Yes, Partners do. I think changing your channel to Director will also lengthen the limit.

As for "partners" I don't know, but everyone else gets a limit of 10min which can't be changed. When YouTube first came out, if you had a Director's channel you could have longer than 10min, but they soon changed the Director account to a 10min limit like every other type of channel.

From what I understand, those people who had Director accounts before the change can still upload videos longer than 10min. But anyone who changes to a Director account now will only be allowed 10min.

Partners do receive many perks, one being that they can upload films over the standard 10min, 1gb mark.
