Determining 'running time' for a video

[tommytucker]

Since Youtube restricts how large the video is, I can easily determine that. But I see they also restrict a running time no longer than Ten Minutes. Anyway when you are creating a video file using one of the Create Video templates that you can predetermine the running time?

That is the reason I now post my videos on Veoh.com. No time or size limits.
