Re: [H] Suggestions for sharing a large video file?
why not bang it down more? People rip to size suitable for phones and ipods Brian Weeden wrote: I've got a video currently on a DVD that I need to get to a colleague of mine in Europe.

I've already ripped it and recompressed it down to about a GB, so now the question is how best to get her the file. She's not very computer savvy so something like a multi-part rar isn't going to work. I have used Google video for this in the past but they have shut down. Youtube is no good because of the limit on length. Maybe something like rapidshare?

Can't you set up a web based FTP server on your box for her to download directly? -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware- boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Brian Weeden Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2009 10:21 AM To: hwg Subject: [H] Suggestions for sharing a large video file?

Re: [H] Suggestions for sharing a large video file?
Well, if you don't already have some FTP space buy a domain from Godaddy for 8-10 bucks, you will get a free 10GB FTP and web site.Upload your mpg, iso or whatever, and then change the extension to a zip. Then send her the link, tell her to click on the link which, as a zip, will automatically download. When it finishes downloading tell her to change the extension back to what it should be. Then remove the ftp file from your site. Godaddy gets nervous about ftp files. A mpg file is fine, no matter how large. Their rule is that the file must be viewable in a web page. If they have a problem with a file or site they send you a five day warning. At 08:21 AM 8/15/2009, you wrote: I've got a video currently on a DVD that I need to get to a colleague of mine in Europe.
