Compressing video to send for download

Is there's a way to compress a video ? I have read on The Forum MP3s are already compressed. Don't' know if that is the same with video.

A Forum member is trying to send me a video which is 87 MB but his e-mail provider limits attachments to 25 MB. He uses Windows 8.1 and I use Mac OSX 10.7.5

How can he send it so I can download it? Thanks, stevet

or have him get a free account on www.vimeo.com , upload it and send you the link. You can download it from there.

You can convert it to a mp4 file or FLV file to reduce the size.
FLV is a very small size and will really reduce the resolution.

Bingo! Earnest's suggestion of wetransfer.com was used by Brint Hannay to compress the video. Thanks to both of you and to Mike Wheeler who was also going to send me the compressed video.

In fact, thanks also to Carl and Joey as well for their suggestions. It sure helps to have guys "in the know" willing to take the time to post suggestions to computer Neanderthals like myself.
