Is it possible and how do I do it? I guess I never tried before because I came across the situation today and there seems to be no way to do it. Help?

Along those same lines, I should just be able to forward the e-mail with the video it did not forward, just the words did. Is it because the file is 11 Mb possibly? I could do it from my PC but not my iPhone.

Jeez, Mail's handling of attachments needs a serious revamp!

Oddly enough, I thought I saw an article online last week that explained how to save a video attachment to an OS5 device - but I can't recall where. Had something to do with saving it to 'Camera Roll' in Photos....

As for forwarding the video - it all comes back to Mail's (lack of) support of attachments and how it handles the ones it can cope with. Yeah, size probably had something to do with - likely a 'feature' within the OS as to prevent you from racking up data costs. Just guessing here...

I'm unsure how to save a vid also to the iPhone.

But, one thing i can point out that Bazza said, & makes complete sense. Blackberry also has a limit of how much you can send pic/vid/file size wise. I would think prob all of the platforms do, so in regards to the 11mb file Ringfinger that you were trying to send, its prob too big.

[Ringfinger]

It seems we can save pics but not vids. Makes no sense.

I've saved videos, without a problem on my 4S. All I have to is press my finger on the video file, after it's downloaded and I get a pop-up with the option to save video. I do it all the time.

[Ringfinger]

Nope, does not work. Maybe because it is a .3gp file format?

[Ringfinger]

Maybe it was because of file format? I did get a .wmv file as well and it was 12.5 MB and that would not save either.

Yeah, iPhone plays MP4 format. You can use a video converter on your home Mac or PC and then send to iPhone for storage and playback but none that actually convert on the iPhone itself that I know of.

I am guessing if the video is in a file format that the iPhone doesn't play you wont be able to save it.

[Ringfinger]

Yeah, but it will play it. That's the issue. I am so confused.
