As everyone else notes, this is not a job for e-mailing. Even if you want to e-mail the file, it is not a job for sendmail. When you send attachments they are typically base64 encoded, this explodes the file from 5.5MB to about 8MB. You can cut it up in two ways: Use transcode to make shorter clips and send separately or convert the file to base64, then cut it up manually and ask your friend to concateneate the attachments and deconvert from base64. The second option is the low tech - transcode is not designed to be user friendly. But, as everyone suggest: Setup anon ftp, an apache webserver, or give ssh access - all of these are faster, simpler and better. This is posible if you are not NAT'ed and have a reasonably fixed ip.
