Try changing the resolution of the video and/or using a different codec - mp4 on h.264 is quite good.
Upload it to a Cloud service and e-mail a link to the file.
If you have to send it by email (rather than uploading to a file share site), you could zip it into smaller files & send them individually.
this.
dropbox, googledrive, skydrive, any online storage service
This is the easiest way .

you are sure that is the easiest way?
If you tell us its length, and the dimensions in pixels of the frame (e.g. 720 x 576), I can have a shot at saying if it's compressible to say 5MB, which is usually OK for email (some are more). You could even resize it to make the frames smaller, or upload it to Youtube as a private video.
Also,the subject matter makes a big difference. If it's mostly static backgrounds (e.g. a TV performer or talking head) it will compress much better than say sports, with continuous movement all over the frame.
I assume it's at 25 fps?
Seems like a worse way than Dropbox. As surely you both need to be online to use P2P.
wetrans is good and does up to 2gb files, fast download speed and you can download more than one file at a time. only downside is files are removed after 14 days and you have to input send and receive email addresses to get the link (you can use the same email once). no account is required to be setup either
there are many alternatives, but sendspace is one of the quickest and easiest for up to 200mb files as no email address or account is required, so less mucking about and no waiting to receive an email with the links
When you say (you can use the same email once) does that mean i can't ever send another file to the same e-mail address again ?

Jake, the thread is three years old.
Best way to be honest, I use one drive to send a couple of videos from my camcorder to a mate. he don't have one drive, but just send a link.
Compressing a video file you just lose quality.
Oh my god, you are right and I replied.
Ok, find a excuse, I am on my chemo week and still having drugs pumped into me. That is my excuse
no, it was just that some file lockers required you to create an account or enter an email address to get a link. that had nothing to do with receiving/sending the file. wetransfer changed so you can click the chain on the page (or whatever it is) and get a link without entering an email address, then you just copy and paste the link into your email
He knows. Just another dead-thread resurrector (or one who keeps returning).
Over and out.
