How do I send a large video over the internet?

[cartman]

I apologize for my cluelessness. I am a hall of fame computer moron. Making a 2+2 post is a banner achievement for me.


I made a video using camstasia which is about 40 minutes long. It appears that the file size is almost exactly 1 Gig. I talked to some others and they were surprised it wasn't much, much smaller, but that remains a mystery.

I need to figure out how to send the video to someone over the internet. Is there a way to compress it somehow? Will zipping it work? Can I do it over AIM? E-mail?

Thanks,
Cartman
