Apple will further integrate YouTube into its products by adding support for the site into QuickTime X Player, according to an AppleInsider report.

The application will let users take any supported video file and upload it directly to YouTube. Users will be prompted to enter their YouTube username and password, and QuickTime X Player take care of the rest. This includes converting the movie into a file optimized for the video sharing service and then uploading it to the appropriate user account.

Of course, Apple will also offer a similar option for users of its own MobileMe service that will take video files and upload them to a MobileMe Gallery. Both options are reportedly accessible via a new "Share" menu in the QuickTime X Player interface.


This news comes just after it was discovered that QuickTime will also feature screen recording capabilities.
