1. Have you 'verified' your account with a cellphone?
2. What codec are you uploading in, and what kind of container is it in? I have seen videos that were 5min long but were in some obscure format/container--and BZZT. No go. AVI is a container. h264 is a codec.
3. If you monetize your account, you SEEM to get better help from YT... And if you can become a partner you get GREAT help... But, you might get rejected based on your low viewer/subscriber count. But, it is worth a shot.
I'm not trying to make you do anything. Just trying to sort out the issue. Verifying my account is what removed my limit, and I just did it and I have plenty of private videos that are way above the 30min mark.
Also, Google/Youtube (they seem like separate companies still) constantly changes the back end converter which converts the videos to FLV, H264/HTML5 etc and if you are using the same converter as 2+ years ago that might be part of the issue. MAYBE. I don't know.
@Filby Thus is my Let's Play life. I can have good uploads, but no idea what my time limit is. I can have no time limit but inconsistent uploads or I can upload to the video hosting limbo which Viddler has become.
How do you keep all your equipment from falling over!?
It can be expensive, but why not make your own website for videos? Or buy a web server.

@Marinecorps1812 To host my videos on it's own server would cost me hundreds a month. :(

Nice to see how much you care about your fans. I would have thought a responsible adult who films himself playing video games would be more generous.

@Marinecorps1812 If I could afford it... I'd have done it months ago. It would solve so many of my problems.
We used to do that waaaaaay back in the CLG days. Lasted about 3 months before we used up all our bandwidth and nearly had the hosting taken away.

1. No, and you can't make me. Can't see how that would make my time limit jump all over the place.
2. Same one I have been for 2+ years. Can't see how that would make my time limit jump all over the place.
3. Don't know if I'm all that interested.
4. But thanks. I do appreciate it.

@spokehedz Actually, I checked and I did do the cell phone thing. Quite a while ago.
I upload a normal old, unfacny, wmv file.
It is my theory that the amount of time I am limited to on my account is directly proportional to the phases of the moons of Saturn.

Sounds like you're kinda screwed no matter what hosting service you use. :/
Anyway, keep up the vlogs, they're always great.

It's too bad... I really liked Viddler too.
