I have loaded a short (2 minutes 22 secs) video from my camera onto my computer however when I go to send it in an email a box pops up saying "The message could not be sent. There is not enough memory."

What memory is it talking about and what can I do to resolve this?
PS - Go easy on me as I'm not too good at this type of thing!

How large is the video clip?

all email services have a limit on the size of file you can send as an attachment, most are either 10MB or 20MB.

If your file is larger than your email suppliers allowed file size it won't send.

I looked at the 'properties' for the video clip and it is 157MB.

I have a hotmail account but pay the �15 per year for the larger/better account. How do I find out what size I can send for my account? Sorry if this sounds like I am a real dummy.

I have received and forwarded much bigger attachments so I dont understand why this is different.

All guidance welcome.
