I completely agree regarding the time length limit. I spent 3 hours
today attempting to upload a 45-minute video; it was well under 1 GB,
but as I found out when I visited my channel, it was rejected due to
its length.
I'm really disappointed that YT has made such a glaring usability
error, especially when it would be so straightforward to add the limit
to the "About Uploading" area. By omitting it from that area while
showing all the other major requirements, it makes the user feel as
though any time limit is acceptable as long as the video is in the
right format and under 1 GB in size.
