• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Whenever we send an email of a short video from our iPad2, it loses quality and becomes grainy. Is there anyway to maintain the video's high quality via email? Can anyone give advice?

Thanks.
Kopita.

Try uploading the video to Dropbox (or a similar service) and see if the same thing occurs.

You've gotta remember - email is not a great delivery platform for large files. @720p, even at a low bit rate, you'll eat up space fairly quickly. Email providers usually limit email sizes to 10 megs (some as little as 5 megs) so it's just not a good way to attempt to send video files.

I'd agree with Chas_m and suggest looking for some form of cloud storage that you can make the files publicly available.
