What is the "copy" function within a paused video for?!

Email, iworks, Facebook?
Some as yet unannounced feature?
Leftover from being able to copy photos?

This copies the entire video which can be copied to a new email or to an email you have already started composing.

I just selected copy for a video in my Camera Roll, select new in Mail to create a new email followed by selecting the message body to bring up Select, Select All, and Paste. I select Paste to paste the video that was copied in my Camera Roll in the new message as an attachment, which I sent to myself as an attachment.

You don't need to do it this way.

With the Camera Roll selected without a video or photo selected, select the button at the top right of the Camera Roll to select the video that you want to send/attach to a new email followed by selecting Share at the bottom left. Options included are Email, MMS, Send to MobileMe (if you have a MobileMe account), and Sent to YouTube.

Select Email.

This copies the entire video. There is not an option to copy a freeze frame of a video. Perhaps with the video on your computer after being imported.

After some experimenting, I found that I can copy a video from the camera roll and paste it into an email IF the video is six seconds or less. If the video is seven seconds or longer, the "paste" option doesn't come up in the email.

I assume it's to limit the size of attachments. I was looking for a way to email (directly from the phone) uncompressed video, rather than the compressed video you get when you select "email" from the camera roll. Guess I'll just have to start recording my life in six-second increments.

Shouldn't be that much trouble--- say, for a 10-minute vacation video, I'll just need to send each of my recipients 100 emails and let them splice the 100 six-second videos back together. I assume Apple provides a handy app for that?
