Thank you for the help and the yousendit.com lead. I already have accountsJohn Inzer said:===================================
There's a good chance that the file size
of your video clips will exceed the limits
allowed by your and/or your recipient's
e-mail provider.
It may be worth a try to upload the clips
to a site like the following and send the
download link to your recipients so they
can download the files at their own
convienience.
"YouSendIt"
http://www.yousendit.com/
All you have to do is enter an e-mail
address in the "To:" (Recipient) field
and click the "Browse" button to select
the file you wish to upload. Then click
the "Send It" button.
The next screen that appears will give
you the download link. Just copy/paste
it into the message to your recipients
who can download and view the file on
their computer.

Mr John,
================================whiplash said:Thank you for the help and the yousendit.com lead. I already have
accounts with Photobucket and Putfile. Though their file limits are
smaller, seems they all work about the same. You're right about my
file size. Though not exceeding limits, it comes close! What would
you recommend in order to reduce size of clips-from an editing
viewpoint? I don't want to over-load anybody's inbox!
================================Also, can you address the problem of not getting video files into WMM
Collections list?
John Inzer said:================================
In Movie Maker for example you can save
a movie file for e-mail and the file size is
is reduced. I still prefer to upload the files
as I previously stated because compression
reduces the quality.
I just did an experiment with saving a movie...
I imported a 36.3 MB .avi clip into Movie Maker
and saved it in the .avi format. the finished file
was 64.4 MB. Saving the same file in the default
..wmv format produced a 2.08 MB clip. And..
saving the same exact file for e-mail the finished
file was 1.08 MB.
The point I'm making is that experimentation is
the best way to determine what your best options
are.

Thanks again very much! I'll be busy with trying/experimenting with your various suggestions.
