or see if the person you sending it to has ICQ or yahoo messenger, you can transfer it directly to them that way. zip up a video file works but doesnt make it much smaller then it is.

Either copy to cd and mail it or
look into the free hosting sites you can post it on...

Maybe recapture the video to your pc and break it up into 5 Meg segments....

many more files but still doable...

Try DrDivx here. You can compress your files very small.

If you're running Windows XP, you can get Windows Movie Maker from the Windows update page. It's a very basic movie editor. It'll allow you to make the movies into smaller formats and you can even add dramatic music and such. I've used it a few times and it does well. As far as sending it via email, a lot of the free email services have limits on the attachment size you can receive, some as little as 2MB. So you might want to find an online storage place, to where you can link your video.
