As we all know that You Tube has been the most successful, powerful and influential online video service provider. Its system has to deal with millions of video segments so that it can provide high-quality service like video upload, distribute, display and browse for thousands and millions of people.

With strong technique support, You Tube provides supporting to multiple formats and enlarges the capacity to be no more than 2G of the upload files. Also the length of video no more than 15 minutes will be allowed to upload.

In fact, there was no limit to the length of the video in 2005, on when You Tube started. But from March, 2006, You Tube limit the timing into 10 minutes. It is because the You Tube found that most of the videos which play more than 10 minutes are mostly TV shows or movies which didn’t authorized. After that, only users who had applied director account and the mass media who had cooperated with You Tube could upload 15 minutes videos. Since July, 2010, You Tube has enlarged the video length from 10minutes to 15 minutes, while the mass media that has cooperated with him still can upload videos more than 15 minutes. In addition, the maximum capacity of a single video which is uploaded by basic tools or flash tools can be 2G, while it can be 20G when the single video is uploaded by java. From the morning news on December, 10th, 2010, You Tube announced that they will cancel the limit of video length and it has been implemented in some users. Meanwhile, it means that users could upload longer videos which have copyrights, such as movies shoot in cinemas by cameras.

The formats which You Tube supports are including AVI, MKV, MOV, MP4, DivX, FLV, Theora, MPEG-4, MPEG and WMV. In addition, it supports 3GP, too. In this way, the users also can upload videos by mobile phone.
