Many devices have video recording capabilities. In addition to video cameras, digital cameras, laptops, portable computers (PDAs), and mobile phones often have similar functions. From most of them, you can get the records made in the form of files suitable for further viewing and processing. And very often, having removed a good plot, you want to immediately transfer the video file to your friends so that it can be appreciated at its true worth.
It is necessary
- - Internet connection;
- - browser;
- - mail program;
- - Internet messengers QIP, ICQ or Skype.
Instructions
Step 1
Use public file sharing services. Examples of such services are rapidshare.com, depositfiles.com, files.mail.ru, narod.yandex.ru. If necessary, register on the website of the selected service. Place the video file on a file-sharing server. Make the file available for download by other users by changing the appropriate settings. Get a link to the download page. Pass this link to the recipient of the file in any way you can.
Step 2
Use video hosting sites like youtube.com or rutube.com. Register on the service website. Sign in to your account. Post your video. Pass the link to the video page to the recipient. The advantages of this method lie in its relative simplicity. The disadvantages include:
- changing the video service during placement (transcoding, changing the resolution);
- the lack of documented possibilities for saving a copy of the video by the recipient;
- the inability to protect the video from viewing by a wide range of people.
Step 3
Transfer videos through file sharing networks. Choose torrent, emule, DC ++, or another network that the recipients of the file can use. This method is advisable if there are a lot of video recipients. In this case, due to peer-to-peer exchange, you can significantly reduce traffic consumption and increase the speed of information dissemination.
Step 4
Transfer the video file using the special features of instant messengers and voice communication programs. For example, you can use the functions of sending a file to an ICQ, QIP or Skype user. The main disadvantages of this method are: the need to connect the client programs of the sender and the recipient to the Internet all the time of transmission, as well as the impossibility of resuming the download if the connection is broken.
Step 5
Make it possible for the recipient to download the video from his computer via FTP. Install an FTP server on your machine. As a file server on Windows, you can use IIS, which comes with many distributions as an add-on, or the free FileZilla Server available for download at filezilla-project.org. On Linux systems, vsftpd can be used.
Start the FTP server. If necessary, add it to the firewall exceptions list or open port 21. Place the video file in an FTP accessible folder. Provide the recipient of the file with your IP address and authorization data, if you have provided it.
Step 6
Email the video file if the recipient's mailbox can accommodate this amount of data. If the recipient's mail service imposes a limit on the maximum size of the letter, split the video file into several parts. Use the capabilities of the file manager, special utilities or the functions of creating multivolume archives of archiving programs.
