How Do I send movie clips?

Hi there. I am after any advice as to how to send movie clips to our relatives overseas. My email attachment limit is 10mb but a 5 min movie is around 250mb !!!! Is there anyway I can send clips by email....or do I have to look at setting up my own website? I have looked around and cant find any that mention the ability to upload/download movies. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks

Hello benburb, you'll need to compress the clip down to a more 'friendly size'. If you are on WinXP (or older windows) you can use Windows Movie Maker, which is very easy to use, not the best of course, but easy. Afterall your only making clips to send not trying to rival Cecil B.

Once you've imported the file into WMM you can split it into more managable sizes. And then save the finished article in a number compressions. Practice with a few to see what works best. Remember this does not effect the original at all. You are quite safe.

Good luck

Just repeating ...you can split the 5 minute file into 5 ONE minute files once it's in WMM.

The downside of sending a 10mb file is the mailbox size of the recipient. You'd need to ensure they have that available or you'll be getting it back.:)
