Sending a video from U Lead to someone through email

Post by breeder44 »

Could anybody tell me how I can send a video that I have made through email to another person?

Thanks

Umpteen ways, e.g.:
Put it on your web site and e-mail the URL
Put it YouTube, Veoh or blip.tv and e-mail the URL
Put it on a free hosting site and e-mail the URL
If it is very small (generally <10 Mb, but consult your ISP), send it as an attachment. To get it small enough, you may have to make it a low-res WMV or similar)

What I'm trying to do is get a the video to my buddy's computer so that he can burn it onto a DVD for me. It is about 10 minutes long and about 2 GB.

Forget the fact that it is a video and simply think of it as a computer file, like any other computer file. This particular computer file just happens to be 2GB in size.

How can you get ANY computer file - in particular a large one - from one computer to another?
This will to some extent depend upon how far away the two computers are.
If they are reasonable close such as in the same room then you can use one of these methods:
1. Connect the two computers together using a Home Network - either using a wireless router or Base 10T (blue) Network cable.
2. Remove a hard drive from one and temporarily place it inside the other.
3. Use a USB Memory stick - I keep a 4GB memory stick in my pocket.
4. Copy the files, directly or by using a program such as winzip onto removable media such as CD's DVD's Floppy discs, Zip Drives and the like.

If the computers are so far apart that the above is not feasible - such as several miles away then you can still use some of the above methods in conjunction with a postage stamp.

Next method is to use online storage, most of the free online storage sites only allow you to upload items of 500 MB or less so in the case of your 2GB file you would need to split it up into smaller chunks. Alternatively you can purchase online storage space. You would need to use a search engine such as Google to find a suitable online storage provider.

The easiest thing would be to use a DVD burner of your own! They are very cheap these days -- here in Australia, they cost around US$25! If for some reason you did not want to burn an actual video DVD but wanted your friend to do so for some reason or other, you could burn the video onto a DVD as an archive file and send it to him.

Failing that, then with a file that size, Devil's first and third options would be the only ones -- though you would need a fairly large allowance to put it onto your own websitre; and with the third option, I think you will find that the hosting sites apply size limits which would probably rule out your file too! :cry:
