There is a difference between a page view and a video video view. The video views really should not increment unless someone watches them all the way through (or at least most of the way through). Since Google has not announced how they tally the view count I was just pointing out evidence that they are probably considering % of videos watched in the view count.

I'm a Youtube Partner and from the analytics I have access to I can see that no matter how long a user watches for a view is counted, otherwise they would not be able to provide "user retention" statistics. "Absolute audience retention helps you see how often each moment of your video is being watched as a percentage of total views. Rewinding and rewatching can result in values of higher than 100%" http://i.imgur.com/r6Wr0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/r6Wr0.jpg
