My boss at Yale is looking to start sending out highlight videos via e-mail to our football boosters and whatnot. Is there a good way to compress a video to the point where it can be sent easily via e-mail, but is still high enough quality to be viewable?

YMMV on quality on an email-able size, but this is the easiest thing i know of for compression:

you can tell it how big you want the video to be in MBs, and it will do what it needs to do to get the video down to that size.

has your boss considered uploading to YouTube? i know a lot of email providers limit attachments to 20MB, some even less than that. that won\'t get you a very good quality video.

Yeah, Youtube would be the easiest way to distribute video online.  Although keep in mind that youtube compresses the **** out of video, but depending on the size and quality of the original file they sometimes offer a "high quality" version (located under the # of views I think.)

not e-mailable but good compression according to the other half.

just e-mail the links anyway. if your boss was going to be mass e-mailing 10+MB files to numerous people your upstream is going to get hammered. Not to mention **** a lot of people off most likely.

you can embed the player on any site / blog etc.

Brightcove is the sharpest video player out there, IMO. They used to have a free version. Not sure if they still offer it, but I think they do...
