Need help sending Video as attachments

[Guest]

I am trying to send vacation video to family and keep getting an error
message that reads, "The message could not be sent. There is not enough
memory." I have tried zipping the videos and that was no help. I can
receive clips sent by family, but I can't send them. I look forward to your
suggestions.

You are likely running into a maximum email size imposed by your ISP. I can
send up to 10 meg. That is way to small to email a video file.

Thanks Richard for your reply. Do you have any suggestion on how to make it
work?

You can't use email for sharing large files.
Share the file by uploading it to a website. There are lots of sites
like http://www.xdrive.com that will do this for free.

I don't know. All I can tell you is what I have learned from dealing with
many similar situations.

I want to thank everyone who responded even though I still can't find a way
to change default email system from Windows Mail to whatever.

Also try Windows Live Sky Drive 1GB Free. (for sharing and storing videos,
documents, pictures, ect.. I have the same problem with my videos. Can't send
anything over a small size..

I have just singed into this link and I just purchased my new computer with
viedo capabilities. I would like to send a viedo email to family members
which have a simular computer so I know they should be able to recieve them,
I think. But I do not know how to start so I searched here and from what I
see in this format of reply, is that no one has an answer, why is Microsoft
not answering any of these questions as support for their software?

If you don't see responses here, you have something misconfigured.
I see thousands of responses!

The problem with sending a video is that its file size often exceeds the
message size that your mail provider allows or what the recipient's mail
provider allows. It is best to upload that type of large file to a website,
then give the recipient the link he can download it from. One such site
is http://tinypic.com .
