What is the best way to send Video Mail?

So I am trying to send a relatively short video through Yahoo mail, It has been loading for about 2 hours now, and it is a zipped file, any way to do this faster, Thanks

  • Answer:

    Relatively short in time doesn't mean anything. It is the file size that matters here, and that depends on the resolution and framerate of the video. I have 30-second clips that are larger than 5-minute ones. One workaround is to resample it to a lower resolution. I like MediaCoder for that, though SUPER also does a decent job. If you set it right, that will reduce file size enough for quick transmission. I read in one of the comments that it is a 168MB file, and that is *WWWAAAYYY* larger than most e-mails allow as an attachment. My e-mail only allows 10MB. Sounds to me like that thing was shot at high resolution. Another possibility is to ZIP/RAR it in chunks, send each as a separate e-mail, and let the person on the other end re-assemble them. Personally, I haven;t had to do that in years since Flash drives and CD-Rs replaced 1.44MB Floppies.

relatively short? Video is at least 4MB/minute, usually much larger. Zipping a video makes no difference, video files are already compressed. Why not post to youtube, and email the link?

Even using dial-up, it should have uploaded by now. I think Yahoo! mail has a limit of 10 Meg. That should take an hour at the most with a dial-up connection, or MUCH quicker with any high-speed connection.

Send your friend a DVD or USB drive via snail mail or sneaker net.
