Emailing a video

How do I email a video off my camcorder? I have it dowloaded to my computer but when I try to send it as an attachment it won't send because the file is so big. I've heard you can pay to have like your own website to download them to and then who ever you emailed it to can open it from there. I've used Youtube but you lose quality. -Roach

only way I know of if it's a large file is to store it on youtube or photobucket

Last November Youtube announced that they were testing out encoding videos at higher resolutions (with better audio as well). To access the higher quality video, all you have to do is add a small "tag" to the end of the existing video URLs. Try adding "&fmt=6" to the end of the address line and you can bump the resolution from 320x240 to 448x336. Add "&fmt=18" to the end of the URL, and you might get an MP4-encoded version, with better audio and a 480x360 resolution. Note: This works best with recent videos.

Great info Bill, thanks. I have some videos that haven't been on youtube too long so I'll try this out. -Roach
