Hi,

I just purchased an ibot and hope to send video clips via e-mail to friends and family. Documentation is almost nonexistent so I need some help.

The size of just a few seconds of video is typically 400+mb. I am assuming that this is way too large to send as an e-mail attachment. This is setting resolution to an acceptably small size. I have heard that Quicktime pro has the capability to make the sizes even smaller and store in other formats. So my questions are:

1) How should I be saving my video clips so that I can e-mail them or post them on free web sites that only offer minimal storage or file sizes?

2) Is quicktime pro usefull for my needs - considering that I may need to save my clips in other formats.

3) If I want to add sound, what other considerations are there, if any?

4) What is the practical limit in terms of mb's for files to be sent through e-mail as an attachment?

Thanks for any input
