Does Gmail automatically compress the video? I would presume it complains about size file first, and an inability to send it via email, and refuses to send.

It did not in my testing with a 22mb file, it directly showed up "processing" or "compressing".

The iOS mail app did the same for my test video 22mb > 458K, no questions asked. (unlike images where app lets you select resize options)

In your testing, did gmail also rename the file? Because Binger's copy, the one that was sent to the lab on a flash drive had a completely different name.
