How do i compress a dvd file so i can send it by email?

The best software I've seen for a dvd file is Ashampoo burn and shrink for example you can get a movie at 4.5gb to about 700mb but still you need to find another e-mail system that will allow you to send it. By reducing the file to very small you will reduce the quality. It is easier sending it by msn messenger in which I've done but both connections have to be same i.e if you have 20mb speed and the other has 2mb it will take longer than usual. You first have to think about it.

Right click your file and choose Properties>Genaral tab>Advanced...>Compress or Encrypt attributes>Compress contents to save disk space

Unfotunatley a DVD is WAY! to big to compress to a email. eg A DVD file is around 8000mb and you can't usually send an email bigger than 5mb or so. You can maybe try and send it in stages

split it in some parts using winrar make a sfx and then send these files using site like dropload.com and extra they support 1 gb file or use torrent to share them

You have to "zip" it. Zip software is available free on the web. Try www.downloads.com, and good luck!

Try here http://www.sendthisfile.com

Just upload it to a file host like http://mediafire.com and send them the download link.

Most email systems will only allow so much to send thru their systems , you can try winzipping it or win rar the file then use yousendit to send the file they allow for the large files to be sent . the basic service is free the larger service is not . http://www.yousendit.com/
