I hope there must be some utility for Linux/ Windows that enables a user to
archive/compress the video files more deeply.

To achieve high compression ratios, it helps to include mostly footage of
uniform coloured walls, with the microphone unplugged/turned off.

Or just downmix them to a lower resolution, halving the res in each
direction should give you roughly 4x compression, right?

Now, that I've given you a stupid answer to the stupid question, let's
ask the right question instead and see if that isn't easier to solve.

The real problem is that email is a thoroughly stupid way to move large
quantities of info around. Get a free upload account that allows you to
load a file to the web and access it via a private link, possibly with a
password. Upload the video file, email the link and phone and tell the
recipient the password. Problem solved.

For upload services, I like uploadingit.com, but GIYF here.
