"Video is very complicated. We’re trying to understand which formats people are using to author their content, which formats are used for what kind of content, and how big the files are," Jennifer said. She adds that there are no time schedules in place for moving to the next phase of the project: searching, playback and purchase. To help with searching, uploaders are encouraged to provide transcripts of their content."
I told you it was just a test! The problem is that if Google actually wants to know what kind of stuff will be thrown at them then they need to let people know how the system will work. I have content that I’d like to see available online but if Google isn’t going to tell me how the system is going to work I won’t upload anything. Instead I’ll just wait to see what happens to the two pieces I uploaded. On the other hand Google doesn’t even know how the system is going to work so we’ll just have to wait and see.

I think it’s overstating it to say they don’t know how it will work. My guess is that they have much firmer ideas of how it will work than they are publicly saying.

You’re probably right but until they tell people what the system will look like they won’t really know “which formats people are using to author their content, which formats are used for what kind of content, and how big the files are,”….
