I have a video which size is 131 MB. Im not able to attach it to my email,
not sure if because of the size. I was wondering if there is any way i can
compress it so that I can attach it.

========================================
The file size is definitely the problem. File size
limits for e-mail are in the 2mb to 20mb range.

Even if you could compress a 131mb video to
20mb the resolution would be so poor it would
be unwatchable.

The following link shows the limits for several
different providers:

What are the email sending limits of ISPs and
other providers?

As an alternative to e-mail...I think your best bet
would be to upload the file to a site like one of the
following and send your recipients the download link:

"SendSpace"
http://www.sendspace.com/

"YouSendIt"
http://www.yousendit.com/

If you do a Google search for Transfer Large Files
you can find more choices.
