I need to email a 8MB video clip (only about 10seconds), what would be the best way to do this in terms of compressing the file etc.

Jay,
That would be a DV-AVI file, the biggest there is.... if you really need it
at the other end in that format, just attach it as is (unless your email
systems can't handle 8 MB). Zip it and unzip it at the other end to reduce
the file size.
If you don't need the full DV-AVI file at the other end, open it in MM2 and
save it as a high quality WMV file... which will be about 7 percent the
size.

From the Help menu in Outlook Express:
To send large messages
Many e-mail and news servers limit the size of the messages you can receive
and send. Usually this limit is one megabyte (1 MB) per message, including
all attached files.
With Outlook Express, you can send large messages or files to e-mail and
news servers that have size limits, by breaking the messages into smaller
ones. When the group of messages is received, the e-mail program combines
them into one message.
On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
On either the Mail or News tab, click Properties.
On the Advanced tab, select the Break apart messages larger than x KB check
box and then enter the maximum file size the server will allow.

For those receiving the movie they will need to combine and decode:

To combine multipart messages
Sometimes, when a large message (one that contains pictures, audio files, or
other large objects) is sent in e-mail or posted to a newsgroup, it is
broken into smaller files and displayed as several messages. You can combine
the messages to recreate the original message and display it in Outlook
Express.
Select all of the messages that are part of the original message (each part
will usually have a number).
On the Message menu, click Combine and Decode.
If needed, reorder the parts in the correct sequence.
Note
After you combine and decode the message, it is displayed in a separate
window. The message will continue to be displayed in the message list as
several smaller messages. To save the recreated message, on the File menu,
click Save As.
