Your e-mail provider would know. Read their online web help pages.

E-mail is NOT a file transfer protocol. It wasn't intended or designed
for that. There is no CRC check on the file to ensure integrity. There
is no resume to re-retrieve the file if the e-mail download fails.
There is no guarantee the e-mail will arrive uncorrupted. Stop using
e-mail to send large files. It is rude to the recipient. Not every
recipient might want to see your video. Not every recipient has
high-speed (and really HIGH-speed) broadband Internet access. Many
users still use slow dial-up access, especially if all they do is
e-mail. You waste your e-mail provider's disk space and their bandwidth
to send a huge e-mail. You waste the recipient's e-mail provider disk
space and bandwidth. You eat up the disk quota for the recipient's
mailbox (which could render it unusable so further e-mails get rejected
due to a full mailbox). You irritate users still on dial-up or using
broadband that is a lot slower than yours to download your huge e-mail.
Stop being rude.

Save the file in online storage and send the recipient a URL link the
file. Your e-mail remains small. It is more likely to arrive. It is
more likely to be seen. The recipient can decide whether or not and
when to download your video file. Be polite.

Your ISP probably allows many gigabytes of online storage for personal
web pages. Upload your file there and provide a URL link to it. Other
methods (of using online storage), all free, are:

http://www.adrive.com/ (50GB max quota, 2GB max file size)
http://www.driveway.com/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.filefactory.com/ (300MB max file size)
http://www.megashares.com/index.php (10GB max file size)
http://www.rapidupload.com/ (300MB max file size)
http://www.sendspace.com/ (300MB max file size)
http://www.spread-it.com/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.transferbigfiles.com/ (1GB max file size)
http://zshare.net/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.zupload.com/ (500MB max file size)
