Changing Youtube account linked to Googlemail account

Anyone out there now the answer - Google have not answered my question?!!

My Youtube account is currently linked to my wife's gmail account.

for various reasons, she wants to remove this, and connect it to mine instead.

I have no problems with this - but I do not want to have to reload all the videos etc.

Is there a way to link my youtube account to mine?

thank you

Unlink account here

When I do I get a red banner

"Your account is permanently linked to a Google mail account"

Of course - a Youtube account must always be linked to a Gogle account - you get to choose WHICH Google account to link to.

I want to link it to a different one!

When you click the link http://www.youtube.com/my_account_unlink, do you ge the correct page as shown in 'Unlink-Youtube.gif'?
