I have a nice (U) video of the first Raptors over Norfolk. If someone
can tell me how to put it up on a web site, I'll be happy to make it
publicly available.

How big is it?

If you can break it into 10 mb "bites", you can email them to me as
attachments, and I'll put 'em on our aviation video page.

The best solution is to upload the file to a file download host. Google
"file upload download host", or something similar, to find a whole slew of
them. I know of a few, but friends report good success with
http://www.rapidshare.de

These are web sites that allow you to upload any file, and then they give
you a URL that you can send to someone else so that they can download. Free
access is somewhat limited in that you have to wait to get the file (about a
minute), and there may be size limits, storage time limits, and number of
download limits as well (depending on the host)

But, it avoids having to break the file into pieces, as well as the roughly
30% overhead that comes from sending via email (that's right...if you send a
1MB file in email, it actually costs about 1.3MB in bandwidth and storage
space requirements).

If you do have to break something into smaller parts, the TAR or RAR formats
are relatively common ways to do that. I haven't used it much, but there's
a free program called 7-Zip that is supposed to do a good job with both
(might only be able to write one or the other of those, but I'm pretty sure
it reads both).

Hope that helps.
