I was uploading my next video cast to YouTube for a Sunday release and I noticed the new progress bar.
I am a huge fan of knowing how far I have progressed. :) So I am happy. If you scan the comments on the YouTube blog post, you will notice everyone simply wants one thing.
You got it! Video lengths longer than 10 minutes. I personally would love that. I always have to crop my videos to 10 minutes or less, to make sure they can be visible on YouTube.
But the progress bar is nice - thanks YT!

It's a welcome addition, but this has been some time coming. Without this update bar, I never knew when YouTube or my browser stalled and when it was really working! This was some time coming, but glad to see it nevertheless.

Wow, it took them this long to add this feature? I'd have to agree with you... allowing the length to be more than 10 minutes would be pretty amazing.
