Not sure if this is right place for this post but here's my question. I took a 6MB video which has .mov extension. It doesn't want to be sent in that format. Can someone give me a clue about which format I should be using. Thanks.

Sorry - meant emailed. How do I make it into an mp4?
Not sure what email service you're using but I've used GMail and Yahoo - they don't care about what format the video is in only the size. If you're sending it as an attachment there's usually a limit especially if you're talking about video files which tend to be large. You're probably better off posting the video to Youtube/Vimeo etc. and emailing the link.
Hello @patriceltic,
There are quite a few FREE online converters that could convert it to say an MP4 format if needed. At 6 MB, it would only take a few seconds.
As an example => MOV to MP4 Converter - Convert MOV to MP4 Online, for FREE.
Using an MP4 format, will also give the recipient a good chance of being able to open it WITHOUT the need for additional Software.
I hope this helps.
I thought if I just changed the extension, that might work. No matter, TB doesn't seem to have a way of sending videos. I tried link, and image tho I didn't think image would work. I will try the suggestion you sent for converting for my next video - I'll let you know how it goes, Paul. Thanks. I can't imagine that TB doesn't have that feature.
Ghot - using TBird.
Thanks to all.
You never mentioned that you were using TB I guess we are all Psychics here.

Hello @patriceltic,
You areVERYwelcome.
I didNOTrealise that it was TB. Unfortunately, I know nothing about TB, so I will leave it to others with experience of TB and the types of formats that are, and areNOTaccepted.
I just sent myself a 7MB mov file as attachment using Thunderbird and Gmail. Worked OK, so you can rule out file extension and TB.
It's probably your email provider that doesn't like large files.
