How do I send a large movie file via email?

Hi - I've been reading through the manuals about how to stream movies to be accessible to friends.
Is there a way that I can post a short movie that I've created so that a friend overseas can have it stream onto her computer. I have created a number of versions using Quicktime Pro with the last using quicktime to save as a self-contained movie and an exported file using Movie to Hinter movie settings. I now have a quicktime movie of dimensions 960x540 and 168.6 MB. Is there any way that I can send this somehow to a friend's email address?

Here's one way to make it available online. This assumes however you have ftp access to a server and web site and your friend has a Mac with Safari.
1: Create a page with the Quicktime movie linked and upload the page and movie file to your server.
The web page address might look like this: http://www.websitename.com/moviename.mov
2: Email your friend with a link to the page.
3: If the receiver has Safari, they should click on the link to launch the web page, then go to the Menu bar > Window > Activity.
4: In the Activity window, a link will appear with the movie file.
5: Select that link, copy it, open the Downloads window, paste the link into the Downloads Window.
The file will download to your friend's computer. All this however does assume your friend has the luxury of being on a Mac.
Tip: Export the file using Quicktime Pro's settings for Web first to make the video's file size smaller.

  • 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!

  • How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachments by icloud ??

    How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachment by email in Icloud ???

    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.

  • Nokia N8 - Sending large video files via email pro...

    Hello, When I try to send a pretty large video file via email on my N8 I get the following error "Memory low. Delete or move some data from C: Phone memory." However my videos are stored on my memory card which has plenty of space so I am confused and not sure what to do
    I hope someone can help me on this, any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

     My best guess would be that the N8 temporarily caches the video to C: memory when sending via Email and therefore the file size exceeds the available free memory on C:.
     I'm not sure the email server will allow the sending of files larger than a certain limit anyway, so you may be out of luck if you want to send any videos via email.

  • Is there a way to send a large video file through email, not using websites?

    Hey guys,
    Just wondering if there is an easy way to send a large video file through email, not using websites such as yousendit.com.
    If anyone knows please respond, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

    No there isn't. Most all Email providers, whether your ISP or some other provider like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft with their Outlook.com or Office365 and Apple's own iCloud system, have a linit on the max size a email can be. Most are around 10MBs some slightly larger but if the vieo you want to send to someone it larger than that you will have to upload it to a website and then have the people you want to view it download it from that website.

  • 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 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

  • Best way to send a large sound file via e-mail?

    Hello,
    I created a sound file in Sound Studio that is 75.5 MB large. I want to e-mail it to a friend through my Hotmail account. (I have a cable connection. I do not have AOL. And I just discovered that I can play it on my computer using QuickTime.)
    What is the best way to do this? Do I need to compress it? I have heard of compressing large files to make it easy to e-mail, but I don't know how to do it. If so, will he be able to hear it when he opens up the e-mail on his end?
    If anyone could give me step-by-step instructions on how to send this, I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

    If you have Stuffit Expander check inside the folder for Drop Stuff.
    Drop the movie file onto Drop Stuff.
    This will compress the music file.
    Or
    You can send large music files through You Send It which is FREE!
    There are others but, You Send It is the easiest.
    Or
    Since you have a High-speed connection, the easiest & fastest way is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). You do not need to be a member of AOL.
    I send all my music & movie files this way instead of using email.
    iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.

  • How do i send a link or page via email with firefox?

    i am new to firefox. had internet explorer for a long time. when i found a site on the internet that i wanted to share with a friend, there were choices somewhere on the menu bar or where the tabs are that said "send link via email" and "send page via email". when i selected one of these, a new email would open in yahoo with the link or page in the body, and i could send this to any contact. can't find these options here. please help! thank you!

    There is an option to "Send Link..." in the File menu. Firefox does not have a built-in send page by email option.

  • How do I send a session from logic via email?

    If I can get some help on this it would be mostly appreciated!

    Hi
    you should zip the Folder and attach it as you would any other thing you wanted to send, but...
    if there's lots of audio, forget it, use dropbox.com or yousendit.com instead.
    Good luck

  • Corrupt PDF and other files via eMail?

    Hi Everyone
    Having strange going on with the printers of late.
    I've used the exact same PDF settings for about 7 years and never have an issue.
    I sent a PDF to the printers last week and the printed product had our logo printed incorrectly on it (there wasn't any time for a colour proof).
    What happened was that the logo is built in CMYK, but the logo only printed 100% black areas of the logo - basically the backing of the logo is in black and that's all that printed.
    The printers couldn't explain it and it's the same logo that's been used with other printers around that time and since then.
    All is fine with the logo.
    Today I sent a cover to the printers and there's an advert on the right hand side of the document that has corrupted. I opened the PDF I sent and all is fine.
    The printer emailed me back what I sent to him and that seems to be corrupt - I can't explain it.
    What I have done is sent him a link to download the file from my Dropbox - which bypasses the file hitting the email altogether.
    When they got the file it was perfectly fine and printed just fine.
    As a test I sent the file several friends of mine who all opened it on various machines, and printed it successfully on various devices.
    The only common denominator here is that when I send the printer the file via Email it gets corrupted (nobody else I sent it to experienced any corruption).
    What exactly can an email system/firewall/anti-virus or other variable possibly affect a PDF?
    As a sidenote: I packaged the InDesign file and zipped it and sent that too - and that too got corrupted and the printers could not open it.

    Email notoriously damages PDF files, so I'd recommend using a Dropbox or similar approach as standard.
    The causes of corruption can be very hard to track down and can include subtle incompatibilities between email programs, size limits, failure of email programs to treat PDFs as binary, and automatic processing of email, such as corporate signatures or antispam.

  • How do I send a large Illustrator CS3 file to a client that needs it for printing?

    How do I send a large Illustrator CS3 file to a client that needs it for printing?

    Hey, another way that i just discovered by complete accident is by selecting what you want to send, and in Illustrator, going to File>Save For > and then click on okay. > then you save it under Pictures or wherever you wish, and name it. Now, all you have to do is compose an email, and attach it!
    Hopefully this works for you like it does for me!
