      I uploaded a video to youtube one time and then went to upload it again, but saved differently with different tags.  Youtube rejected the second upload as being the same as the first. Really, it was the same... just a different file with different tags.

      Now, I was thinking about making and uploading some similar but not identical videos for embedding on some web pages. Was thinking I'd make the voice overs different, but the images mostly the same montage. Do you think Youtube/Google will see it as the same video?

      I kind of assume that it didn't fly when I first tried it some time ago because youtube was looking at the audio in the way it can make a transcription.

      Do you think if the audi,o, file name, tags were different, it wouldn't matter if the video was the same?

      Thanks!

        I would definitely mix it up at least slightly. Either the audio or video. Maybe even 10 seconds of non identical data would be enough to be considered unique. Let us know how it works out!

          Hi,

          Yes, I mixed it up a lot with 10 different scripts and then images with different transitions in a different order. Best...
