If it's an actual Video DVD, there are tons of freeware or low-cost DVD rippers out there. One freebie is "Ahead DVD Ripper" (http://www.aheaddvd.com/download.htm, and there's a free trial of "Easy DVD Shrink" at http://www.burnersoft.com.

If it's already an AVI, MPEG, or other video file, there are even more programs for re-compressing to make a smaller file. Go to download.com and search for "avi recompress" for a sampling.

But a 10-minute video won't compress down to an emailable size (without looking like garbage, at least). You will be able to shrink it down enough for sharing if you have a web site that will host it. If you don't, check out Google's video upload program (https://upload.video.google.com/). They have their own video format, so you can probably just use their tools for compression.

you can upload it to a file host site... megaupload is a good one for BIG files
