Compressing m4v for emailing?

[Anthony]

I too 5 short videos with my iphone5 and edited them together through quicktime. Total 8 mins. and the size of combined clips is 50m. I'm limited to 25m file size for emailing. How do I compress? Any shareware or good store bought ware? THanks.

m4vs will not compress that much, so you won't be able to use email to
transfer them. Dropbox.com is a good substitute, or google "send large
file" for others.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.

Jolly,
How do I re-encode to a lower resolution? Is it done through a specific application?

These video files will already be compressed and will not compress much
further. As suggested, a file sharing service such as DropBox will be an
easy way out. Re-mastering to a lower resolution another course of
action.

Another alternative is to split the file into smaller parts and email
the parts over successive attachments.

Caveat, your intended recipient will have to use a compatible
splitter/joiner software to reassemble the parts at their end.

You could use "Split&Concat" to do this:

If your intended recipient does not have a Mac, they could use the
excellent java "HJ-Split" to reassemble at the other end (HJ-Split is
binary compatible with "Split&Concat" part files). It also comes as OS
native apps for Linux & Windows, but the Java version will run on just
about anything (you could just as easily use this to split your files,
too):

Look for "Download: hjsplit_g.jar (137 Kb)" in above links page.

The already compressed file you have leaves you with a few options to
communicate to others, but not to compress further without quite some
loss.

One is to open in QT Pro and save it to smaller *in physical size*,
this is one way to do this (I use QT7 for this purpose): Open the
movie in QT and go to the File menu and pick "Share". Then in the
Share dialog that comes up, choose Email, pick or keep the name and
pick a size, Small will get you a small physical size and that counts
for a lot of MB saved! You get to see what the final size will be as
you choose Size in this dialog.

Next, look at Mail.app and it will appear as an attachment. Drag it
off this and save it to your disk or email it directly.

The best way though is load your movie to a/your server and tell
people to download it from there, there is no tight limit on size this
way, you can FTP up enormous files and download them too. btw, I'm
surprised your email limit is so big, usually it is lower (10MB being
the upper).

Perhaps even better (they process to be available to the maximum range
of users) or at least one painless way is to load it up to YouTube
(you need to sign up (free)). You have two options to be discrete:
one, list as unlisted - meaning unlikely to be found by anyone without
a specific URL); two, list as private or some such characterization
where specific emailed addressed people are listed by you as being
allowed to see.

These last two methods have, imo, the great advantage of enabling you
to email plain text with just a bit of text, the url of your movie,
and no load on the email network, all your recipients able to download
or look at your work at their own leisure without being loaded with
stuff on their email apps...

If you want the best quality and size, don't process any further, and
load to an accessible public server.

I downloaded dropbox but just not too sure that's the way I want to go. I thought there had to be a work around with email. I'm limited to 25mb (AOL) and that is only about 4 minutes of video. There are apps for everything, but not this? As was send in this thread, the file is already compressed and not much more room to squeeze. Is there a place on the iphone5 to lower resolution for video?

One could blame sysadmins for clinging to archaic SMTP implementations.
There's no reason that e-mailing a multi-gigabyte file can't work except
that the code has crude design patterns from 30 years ago.

As an old-school sysadmin, surely you wouldn't mind everybody being
their own cloud service? It's just like in the old days where if you
wanted to share a file you ran the software right on your own computer.
Now where is that IPv6 support so we all get static WAN addresses?
