sending a movie clip email

[egreene]

Hi,
I have looked all over for some help and hopefully I have come to the right place here. I have a CanonPower shot G1, 3.3 miga pixels. My ISP is Peoplepc.com. I am running Win 89 SE, and Outlook Express.
I am trying to send some movie clips via email, I try sending them to my self to see what amount of time it takes and if they will go. Would you believe it takes about a half an hour to get it to go. When I send them to others they get nothing in an attachment. I am sending them as attachments as it won't compress the clip and suggests to send it as an attachment. Is there anyone out there that could give me some advice on what I should do? I am not computer wise only been with them a few. I would appreiciate any help anyone could give me.years. :confused: :confused: Thank You in advance

Ok. If it takes an hour to send then at a standard 50k dial-up connection, that makes the file about 15mb. Am I correct? Most ISPs won't allow emails with larger than 5mb attachments in total. Some will bounce the email and others will strip off the large attachment.

There is a way around this, however. Get a website with enough space to accommodate your file. Then put it onto that site and send everybody an email telling them the file's there. Those that want to see it, can. Those that aren't interested, don't have the hassle of downloading a 15mb email.

Thank You Rhys,
Well, I just looked to see the size and it says it is 5.62 MB, Like I say I don't know if this is big or small but am guessing it is big. But my conection is dialup and I doubt if would be 50K more like 28K. Can I compress it and if so how?
