    Some e-mails ervices MIGHT allow it but you have a few options I beleive.

    Try using a program like superc to compress teh video to an acceptable size.

    Try looking into Peer to Peer software...

    On that note look into "Torrents" as well...

    Another thing that MIGHT work is if you both have AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). You can send files to each other through that and I don't beleive they have a filesize limit. Be warned it could take a long time.

    How To Email A Movie

  • 1 decade ago

    Split it and send it. There's lots of softwares that will do stuff like that. clumsy in the start but u'll get used to it.But joining it makes the whole thing crappy.

    Another option is to upload it onto some file sharing network. like myspace and share the account(wonder if thats legal )

    or simply upload it onto rapidshare and let the world share it!

    Try putting it on YouTube and direct him to it. So far as email is concerned, as stated, it's to big and there isn't a lot that you can do about it.

    The easiest way is to upload it to a file-sharing site, then email the link and instructions to your friend telling him/her how to go grab it.

    you cant send it through email (only usually exept files smaller than 2 mb) you probably have to host a site for him to download

    too big because of the amout of megabites your email account allows you to send.

    better to send via dvd disc.

    short videos are ok.

    check amount of megabites you are allowed you may be able to upgrade.

    I'm not sure about email, but you could upload it to a site like www.photobucket.com then just send a link.
