Jan 25, 2016 6:41 AM in response to NeetaBantiby Terence Devlin,You can't, simply. There is no way to email a file that large, Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

You can definitely send this movie to your nephew over e-mail. This file is too large to be attached to most traditional e-mail accounts. However, fortunately there are ways around this!
You can use a "cloud-based file transfer service". Basically, this means that you will upload your file to a website and they will provide you with a link that you will send to your nephew by e-mail. He or she will click on that link and will be able to download the movie. Popular services are Apple's iCould, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft's OneDrive, and the company WeTransfer.
If you are more tech-savvy, another practical solution is to upload your file to a video streaming service and let your nephew watch the movie online. You can upload the file to Youtube or Vimeo Plus. You can configure the video's privacy settings such that only your nephew can watch your video.
