How can I send a large .MOV file to a USB?

We had an event a few days ago, and made a movie with iMovie, when I finally finished making it and adding what i wanted and edited to my like I exported it. The file is currently 9.86GB. I have a 32GB USB thumbdrive but everytime I try to "drag and drop" it tells me the file is too large for the volumes format. Now, I'm confused. I also tried exporting it directly to my USB but that didn't work also. I've tried sending the movie through an ethernet cable I had, and I succeeded but the quality downgraded and the movie was converted to a 8.42GB movie. I want the full HD video I took and edited, and thats on my mac. By the way I'm trying to send this movie to my VAIO PC. So does anyone know how to copy .MOV files to a USB? It's a PNY 32GB USB thumbdrive.

Here's how I did it:
1. Open disc utility
2. Select the USB drive on the left
3. Click the "erase" button
4. It will give you a "Format" pull down bar, select "Mac extended journaled." That will give you the complete USB to use. I don't suggest case sensitive journaled.
5. Click "Erase and Reformat"
Success!

That's a bit excessive. The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

Yes there is, if you hold down the attachment widget in the email once the video is downloaded, it will give you a series of options to save it to, including camera roll.
Hope this solves your question.

But generally it is never a good idea to send e-documents as email attachments. Better use a file sharing service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, ..), upload the document, then send the shared download link via email.

How do I handle a large movie file?

My wife created a DVD using iDVD containing both slide shows and a couple of movies. The movies play fine in Preview mode, but not on the burned DVD. I read the help files for iDVD and they said that movie files larger than 1GB may not play correctly, and indeed, the files in question are larger.
My question: If we update to a newer version of iDVD is this problem (or limit, I guess) solved?
Is there a way to break up a large movie file into smaller ones, but still have iDVD play them sequentially? (And with only one menu item on the main menu?)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Dave,
I have never heard that large movie files may not play correctly. I have filled up many a DVD without experiencing this problem.
Now on splitting the movie up. Since the movie is already in iMovie, you just need to do a Edit>Split at Playhead to chop up the clip. As long as you don't put anything between the adjacent clips, they will play seemlessly when viewed on the DVD. You will not notice that they were split at all.
Hope this helps.

How can I compress an Imported Movie even further?

I have a 20 second movie 230 x 129 size. The file size is 1.2 mb. I then imported it into Flash. After it's all said and done the finall SWF is 1.7 mb. I plan to put this on my homepage, but I want the file to be smaller. I reduced the flash .jpg and output settings to their lowest but the file remaied at 1.7 mb so this tells me the imported movie is causing the large file size here.
Is there something I can do to make my imported movie smaller so my resulting SWF is under 1 MB.
Update:
I just compressed the QT movie to 520 kb (the old movie size was 1.2 mb) and then imported it into my Flash file, then I published the SWF and the file size was still 1.7 mb. This means the Flash SWF file with an imported movie of 1.2 MB movie is the same File size as a Flash SWF file with an imported movie size of 520 kb. This doesn't make sense to me as the SWF file size should be a lot lower.
1.2 mb imported movie. SWF file size = 1.7 mb
520 kb imported movie. SWF file size = 1.7 mb
What's up with that?

i went through your instructions and with the trace event, thanks
its looping now.. but only once and with a very noticeable gap in between
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
function onMouseClick(e:Event):void
    //navigate to next page from here
    trace("http://www.transformingscotland.com/?page_id=42");
portal7.autoRewind = true;
//Assign mouse event listener to player. In this case MouseDown player_name.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MouseDown, onMouseClick);
portal7.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,onComplete);
//Above eventListener checks to see if playback has finished/completed //So the onComplete function is called if finished
function onComplete(e:VideoEvent):void
     //The autoRewind will reset to first frame and stop
    //Try one of the following below...Uncomment one at a time and try it...
    //player_name.source = URLFILETOPLAY; OR
    //player_name.play();
     portal7.seek(0); // <---This should position it a movie frame 0
     portal7.play("http://www.transformingscotland.com/wp-content/themes/Amirra/Amirra/images/portalavi.flv");
ps - there's the ability to add fvars via the flash embed plugin that i use on the site.. (wordpress) not sure if that could be utilised for the hyperlinking?

How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.
