I made a small (20 second) video but when I try to email it, I'm told it's too large. How can I correct it?

Mail message says, "we cannot send anything larger then 16 kb's" I'm lost here. I receive videos that seem larger without any problem. Does adding sound to it make it use more kb's? How can I get it sized so I can send it out?

Thanks

    You aren't going to get 20 seconds of video into a file that is smaller than 16 kilobytes.

    Who ever you are using for sending email is limiting the size of the email that you can send but not limiting the size of the email you can receive. Try using a different email provider.

    Make sure it says kb and not mb. MegaBytes are much bigger and you can easily get a 20 second video under 16 megabytes by using compression like Divx or Windows Media Player 9 or 10 codec compressor.
