Windows Media Player

[Joyce]

I have DSL and use windows mail, when I email something that is "Windows
Media Player" it takes forever to send. I have one that is 3.5 minutes long
and it has taken over15 minutes to send. I don't know why? Can anyone help?
I can send pictures, several in one email and no problem. Is it just the
Windows Media Player? Help!!!!

Thanks

Depending on the video resolution that is being used, 3.5 minutes worth
could be a big file. Have you looked at the file size?
One thing that will slow down sending is having your antivirus scan
that email while it is being sent. Turn off antivirus email scanning.

Besides what Gary mentioned, coding an attachment to send by email adds 40%
to its size. Email is about the most inefficient way to transfer files.
