Video email

What is the proper size I should use to send a video email that can be seen well? Should I send it from imovie as a quicktime or .mov? I also have it saved in itune as a large, medium and mobile. Can I send video via mail from itune?

Sure there's a way. Check this thread:

You PowerBook with external iSight allows you to disregard the iMovie limitations of The built-in iSight in the new iMac G5 (iSight), so you can use iMovie(4 or later) directly if you have it. Otherwise, you can use one of the other applications that can use your iSight to record movie clips.

  • Is there a Video eMail program for the eMac?

    I have an external video camera hooked up to my eMac and would like to use it for Video Emails. On the PC's there are several free programs, including iGoogle and MS Messenger that allow this. Yet when I try to use them on the eMac, they state they aren't compatible with PowerPC chips, only Intel-based MACs. I've searched the internet for "Free Video Email for MAC" but failed to find anything that would work on the eMac. Several would work only with iSight, which I don't have.

    (1) Perhaps you mean video chat or conference rather than video email? I no longer use a PC, but I could not see how either iGoogle or MS Messenger offers Video Email.
    If you really want to send video email, all you need an OS X app that can capture a video clip. You can attach those saved clips to your email. If this is what you want to do, you likely already have an app that can capture video if your camera is compatible with your eMac.
    However, if you do not already know which app you want to use to capture your video clips, take a look at this page for some candidate apps you can consider:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
    If you already have Apple's iMovie, QuickTime Pro, or Photo Booth, any of them can capture video for emailing provided that your camera is compatible with the app and Mac OS you are using. Other apps in the linked list might be compatible with your cameras, so, if your camera is not supported with the software you have, you may want to take a look at the system requirements and compatibility info for some of the other apps that can capture movie/video clips.
    (2) If your external video camera is either Firewire or a "UVC" device, and, if your eMac 1.25Ghz PowerPC G4 is one of those listed in this page
      http://support.apple.com/kb/SP44
    your camera should work with your Mac OS X (10.5.8) without need for any driver software.
    (3) If you cannot make the desired applications work with your camera, and, if your camera is one of those listed as a "should work" in
      http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php
    the macam driver you can download from the links there may let you use your camera with your existing system.
    (4) If your camera is not compatible with both the version of OS X and the applications you use, you may want to consider a different camera. For more info see:
      http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    (5) If I have misunderstood, when you post back, please give the specifics of which camera you want to use and what app you want to use with your video camera.

  • Rogue video email shuts down Apple Mail, cannot delete

    I received a video email from a friend that shuts down Apple Mail within a few seconds of opening. The delete button is grayed out and I am unable to delete. I deleted it from web-based mail, but it still opens with Apple Mail--then shuts down the application. I have shut down the computer and logged off repeatedly, to no avail. (I am also afraid my mailboxes have been emptied--apart from the rogue email.) Have I lost Apple Mail on this computer forever? Can anyone help?

    Videos emailed from my iPhone4 won't open or play on the recipients' computer.  Is this a quicktime/windows media player issue?   What is the best way to solve this ?  THANKS!

    Is the recipient using QuickTime on their PC to view the video?
    What is the error message provided when trying to open/view the video?

  • HT204382 This was no help at all. i can not open and veiw the video emails that are sent through

    I can not veiw my video emails that are sent to me..??

    It's not quite that. It is saying it's an MOV file which, although it is read by iTunes on the Mac, cannot be played by the iPhone. It's slightly confusing as I downloaded it off the iTunes store. Do you think this can be remedied? Or refunded?

  • Easiest way to send a video Email?

    Hi....
    I was wondering (of all the way's) what would be the easiest way to send Video Email?
    I would like to use a built in method - meaning: a method that would have an email ability already apart of it's function; not - just record a message and turn it into an attachment....
    Suggestions, opinions and comments are welcome
    Thank you in advance....

    Yea - that’s what started my whole question in the first place (funny)... I was in PhotoBooth and started looking around to see if there was a function (button) that I could push that would have the recording all set up automatically (to be emailed)... And I was kinda surprised that there wasn’t one (in a round about way) - so that’s when I thought maybe there still would be one somewhere else buried in OS X that I don’t know about. Meaning: might as well take advantage of it - if I got it.... (Right?)...
    So now I’ll go look into my Quick Time Pro and see what’s up....

  • My ipod touch is not sending video emails

  • Sending video emails

    I would like to know how I can use my MacBook to send video email messages.
    Thanks.

    Otherwise if you are wanting to record yourself you could use iMovie and your inbuilt iSight camera and then use 'Export' and choose the e-mail movie size option.
    If you're wanting to send video clips that are on your computer, you could try importing them into iMovie and then exporting them to the e-mail size option (note: this will only work with a select few types of movie files).
    Hope this will save you from having to buy QT Pro.

  • How can I send video email

    I see a lot of sites offering video email. Does .mac offer video email? If so, how do I send video email.

    You can attach a QuickTime or other video file to a mail message, though these tend to get clipped off and stripped off at mail servers — even compressed video files tend to be huge. The recipient gets to buffer the file in local storage, and can also have issues downloading the file on slower links.
    You can send HTML-format mail and link to a video file on a server. (I tend to avoid loading HTML files from remote sites for various reasons, and I'm not alone here.) This is probably what these "video email services" are providing: storage, and a way to link to it from within an HTML-format mail message.
    Or you could look to iChat or other such interactive mechanisms. iChat is part of Mac OS X and iChat Server is part of Mac OS X Server.
    As for .Mac and such, a specific [.Mac Discussion Forum|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116] is available, as is the [Apple Mail client forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=753].

  • Video Email Attachments won't play on my Iphone 4S

    As in power OFF/ON?
    Have you tried a Reset? (press and hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo then release).
    You can also connect to iTunes and:
    Right-click on iPhone name and select "Restore from backup", which does not erase any data other than re-load your last backup, or
    Select Restore, which will erase your iPhone and re-load the OS.  At the end you can re-load your last backup to save you from having to re-do all the settings and preferences, and you don't lose app data, texts, camera roll, etc.
    As above, Restore but don't load your last backup.  This will erase everything and you'll set it up as a new iPhone, which means re-doing all your settings and preferences, and losing app data, contacts*, etc.
    *Contacts can be restored if you're using Exchange, or if your computer contacts are up to date, or if you use a 3rd party app to extract your contacts from your iPhone before you Restore.
    One of those will fix your issue, but only do the last one if the others don't help.

  • Quicktime video email attachment wont play

    I have a Quicktime email video attachment (470Kb) that wont play on my iPod Touch, just get the message 'This movie could not be played'. It plays fine on my computer so its not corrupted. I have no problems playing YouTube videos etc: so I cannot understand what the problem is. Any sugestions?

    There are QuickTime formats that will not play on iPods because the video format is not correct. Height, width, frame rate, etc. are all important to whether or not a video can be played on the touch. (I could send you a link to the touch specs but it seems overly complicated.)
    If you have QuickTime pro, you could convert the file to one that could be played on your touch. Even if you don't, you could copy the file into iTunes and run the iTunes conversion program on it.

  • Settings for video email attachments

    When exporting using "Export using QuickTime" for attaching a short video to an email for viewing by a recipient, who's using a PC, which settings would you recommend?
    Thanks Derek (UK)

    From p. 138 of the user guide...
    The following video file formats are supported by iPhone:
    - H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
    - MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)

  • Iphone video email limit

    Hi.  I do not see any discussions on this topic other than Archived discussions so I cannot reply to them (and they were unsolved).
    I have noticed for awhile now that the iPhone really stinks at emailing videos...the video clips must be under 60 seconds and typically the largest file I've been able to send is 7MB.
    Since Yahoo and Google (both loved by Apple especially in the Email design of iOS) both have 25MB email limits, why are we being denied to send files larger than 7MB/60 seconds?!  These 25MB limits have been in place for quite some time now.  I understand that some non-web-mail providers only have 10MB or 15MB limits, but 7MB limitation is the dark ages!  Surely Apple could whip up some code to allow sending larger files to email accounts.  Here is a comparison of webmail providers:  
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_webmail_providers
    Am I overlooking some setting somewhere?  Or should I jailbreak my phone/touch?  I cannot copy the file to my computer and then email it as the file size is 10x larger than what Apple compresses it to.  Sure, I could buy my own software and compress it, but that's a big workaround for a $400 iPhone and $300 Touch.
    It's extremely frustrating to take a 1-2 minute video clip of your child playing and then cannot send it via email.

    Re: Size Limit on EMAILED video - iPhone 4     Jun 30, 2010 2:22 PM    (in response to darkfire.shadows) 
       the file size has nothing to do with it according to apple advisor I spoke to at support. We has concluded that the iOS4 limits video clips that can emailed to 54 seconds long. No matter the size of the file. take a 720p video and and export your imovie at the highest quality then try to email it. Mail will trim the clip to 54 seconds every time regardless of file size or length. As long as your video is 54 seconds or shorter, mail will not ask you to cut the video down to be emailed or sent to mobile me. the guy I spoke to at apple support has sent a letter to apple engineers about this issue and is going to call me back in a few days about it so I will post whatever answers I get. I emailed myself a video done with imovie app and it was 107mb but was exactly 53 seconds long, and it went through without asking me to cut it. I went back and changed one transition to 2 seconds longer making the video 55 seconds and it had to be cut. After cutting the video and emailing it to myself it showed up as 54 seconds long and 105 MB.

  • Links, Video, Email Not Working

    I've been experiencing a reoccuring problem with links, pages not loading and video not appearing.
    After going on youtube it says, "You may need to initiate java or upgrade your flash player". I have had java on the whole time.
    My email sometimes won't even open after it's finished loading, leaving a blank screen. Once I do get in, it looks like a beta version of what it should actually look like.
    Googlemaps appears blank whenever I click on it too.
    I could not even post on this site with my macbook because when I tried to click the links, nothing would happen.
    What should I do?

    You're right. I apologize.
    Are you using Safari? If so under the Safari menu is an option to empty cache, try that. If that doesn't help you'll also see reset safari. Try that.
    Have you checked for software updates? Try running software update and see if anything pops up that might be relevant. The tip above about deleting the preference file is a good thought also.
