alexgaddis Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I got a newer laptop this year and it has a plug in spot for my camera's memory card. So I taped some short movies (15 seconds) of my kids to send to the grandparents but the size of the file is too big to send through email...I have no freakin idea how to make the file size smaller...is there something I can download to assist me?? The software that came with the camera is long gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerx Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 What is the operating system? What email do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 You can upload it to a file sharing service (web site) and then download it to their PC. There's one that a lot of people use called megaupload.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddahj Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) You can download WinRar or WinZip & compress the file so you can email it. The only problem with this is that they will need the program too. Edited May 11, 2010 by buddahj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software that came with the camera is long gone... i have a flip digital video camera and i upload all our movies to youtube. if you're worried about pedophiles spanking it to your kids, you can make the videos private, viewable by up to 25 people. i just email the link to the grandparents, works great.

Square Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Just a different idea that I haven't seen yet. Just mail them the SD card and get a second one? I've done that with flash drives and large amount of pics. We just lone them out to some of my relatives and then they fill it up with pics of them and their kids and give it back later. Works pretty slick, but the ideas mentioned above work as well. You could also send them in smaller groups or individual sizes. I think gmail (which is free) allows you to send 10MB per email.
