Hello, I am trying to send some short video clips by email and it seems I have to put them in a format to send them, but I do not know which format to use. Could anyone help please.

Hi
The best advice that I have found is by doing a search online, I used google and searched for "sending short video clips by email for free" as for the format, there are many & varied formats ranging from .mp4, .flv, divx. these are only 3 that I use, there are so many options, it also depends on how the recipients of the video are planning to view them and if they are going to be embedded in a website, say you tube for example you are better checking to see what format the site will accept.
Good luck & hope this helps

In addition to izzitpvc.
A short video can be a few seconds or several minutes.
Video quality is one key factor.
Some email providers do not support a big amount of data, as
HD videos, lasting several minutes, usually are.
In such case you have to reduce quality (change to another format) .
A format with low resolution, or low clip quality. (.webm for example amongst others). ;)
