A few answers from our contributors:

For your specific type of email you could look in the help options or there will be a button that says "attach" and you click that and choose the file.

Another alternative is to use a dedicated service where you upload and process your video and then simply email the link to your recipient for either streaming or download.

This has several advantages for example, when you are limited to sending small video files or you are stuck trying to figure out how to encode your video so it is in the right format for viewing

The problem with sending video files via email is that they are typically too large for standard mail servers to handle. When sending an email attachment the maximum size depends not only on how large your own mail system will allow you to send but also on the size that the recipients mail system will accept. Here are the limits some of the major systems will allow:

  • Gmail - 25Mb
  • Windows Live Hotmail - 10Mb
  • Yahoo! Mail - 20Mb

The major email server programs have the following default limits for large file attachments:

  • MS Exchange 2007 - 10Mb
  • Send Mail - 2 Mb

When you consider that a video file, 25 minutes long at 768 x 576 is 1Gb in size, you can see the problem with sending video files via email.

The end result is that the email does not get to your recipient either because it can't get through your or their mail servers. Sometimes the mail will just be bounced back to you, although more often it will just disappear. Worse still, it can cause your email program to continually crash as it repeatedly tries and fails to send the file.

The solution to this problem is to use a file transfer system that lets you send an email like normal from your email address, but it removes the large video file and puts it on their servers and the recipient is sent the original message with a link to download the file. This means that your and their mail servers do not have to try and process this large file. It also stops inboxes from getting clogged up with large files. The limitations of many of these services is that they typically have a file size limit of 2Gb. A few services have a file size limit big enough to handle most video files and allow you to send 5Gb files.
