[Frameworks] rudimentary question about file compression

Dear Frameworkers,

I'm working on some subtitles for (again) some Japanese experimental films. The person I'm working with is not local and we're trying to find a means to send back and forth low resolution copies of the films (basically DVD files) so that we can confirm the subtitle placement is accurate. These are lengthy so it seems that youtube and "sendthisfile" won't work, unless we can somehow compress the files in the latter case.
Does anyone have some good recommendations here for compressing files so they can be either emailed or transferred somehow through the cloud? I apologize for a question that appears more of an IT question than a film question, but since it's in the service of the latter, I thought there might be some film-specific recommendations for data transfer here.

Yours most sincerely,
Jonathan M Hall
Los Angeles, California
