Handbrake is free and can be downloaded from here:

That said, video is just very large. A typical DVD has around 4-9GB of
video data, and that's compressed from the source. Even if you compress
a video really hard it's probably not going to get below the 10MB cap
most email providers put on attachments.
The math works out this way. Say your video is 640x480 pixels, the
lowest common resolution today known as Standard Definition or SD.
Variations of HD (like modern iPhones record) go up to 1920x1080. If we
stick with our 640x480 example that's 300K of data. Colors are
represented by three bytes for red green and blue so it's 900K per
frame. Most video runs 30 frames per second so that's 26MB of
uncompressed data per second of video at SD size. So even if you
compress it really hard to 1% of the original size you're at 270K per
second or about 16MB a minute. I was poking around on the Netflix site
and for SD they want 3Mb per second or about 300KB a second which
matches pretty well with my maths above.
Anyway, it sounds like your 98MB video file is on the reasonably small
side so I wouldn't expect it to get much smaller.

I use handbrake to compress the videos I make. I just the default
settings and it really backs them down to a reasonable size, around
60% of original size. I don’t really understand all the settings in
handbrake, but there is a compression factor percentage that you can
fiddle with to get even smaller videos.

Thanks Tim,
I did that but it didn’t reduce them much.

Hi,
In QuickTime, use the Export feature. If you select iPhone, iPad
and AppleTV, it will compress it considerably smaller. I had a
2.69 GB .mov file that would export to either 800 MB, 600 MB or
200 MB. Using those compression factors, you should be able to
reduce the size of your movies considerably.
Later...

Hi all,
I have two videos that my husband took that I’d like to share with
someone.
I zipped them in separate files and put them into dropbox. That
was at about 1:00 this afternoon. They’re still uploading.
Is there some way I can make them smaller and then send them to my
friend via email?
I saved them as mov files in quicktime but that didn’t change the
size. One is 98 mb and the other is even bigger.
All help is appreciated.
Blessings,
Stacey Robinson and GEB dog Kirk.
