    Sharing a 3.5 gig file

    I have a movie I made of a family reunion. Should I a) burn it to disk and mail it to everyone. or b) try to upload it?

    If the best answer is "a" which I assume it probably is. Does my aluminum body macbrook pro from 2009 have a dvd burner? I'm almost sure it does.

    thx

    It was fun while it lasted...

      Me, I try to keep everything digital. The physical will only take up space and I'll lose it anyway.

      Really depends on how good with technology your family is. I find Google Drive faster than Dropbox and has more space (even for uploading).

      Plus how do you expect the movie to be watched? Obviously if it's going into a DVD player you'd want to burn it on to a DVD, make sure it plays, and mail it out. (I think how it will be watched will tell you what you need to do. A digital copy is no use if it's going into a DVD player unless it has a USB slot).

      Also, DVDs are not infallible, they won't last forever, and you'll need to put them in cases before mailing out.

      I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

          Upload it to youtube, set it as a private link and email the link to everyone.

              Youtube will handle a file that big?

                          Yea YouTube handles pretty large files. Their main concern is copyrights so as long as the file is legit you should be good to go. I've watched 2 hour documentaries on YouTube that we're pleaded in 720p iirc.
