Emailing Video

Hi,

My friend is trying to email me a couple of videos of Burnley's homecoming parade last week (I'm sad I know!). The smallest is 11MB but it must still exceed the max size for an attachment (hotmail). Has anyone any ideas if there is anything we can do to make them smaller without losing quality?


Many thanks



Shelley

You might try an intermediary service such as Yousendit or Rapidshare: the sender uploads to the site, which sends a URL where you can retrieve the file.

Thanks, I'll ask her to try that but she has already got them up on Facebook. Just wondered if there is a way to get them down from there?

If you still want to try the email route you can split the files into smaller mailable chunks and re assemble at the receiving end.
HJ split does the job well ...and is free!!

If you link up using messenger you can transfer files.

If you're using Firefox, there's a useful plugin called FlashGot that lets you download embedded videos from websites. I don't know exactly what Facebook does - never touch the stuff meself - but it's worth a go.

Many thanks for all the replies. Never knew there was so much choice. I'm hoping to finally sort today with whatever my friend thinks easiest. Personally Eyejot looks the best otherwise may have to join the masses on MSN.

I suppose the same is for Skype as well then? Never used MSN as always used Skype for voice.
