YOur camera should had come with some software. You connect your camera to your computer via some cable. Now adays is an USB cable. The operating system should recognice that the camera is on and open up the software for you. If the wrong programs opens then you may want to first open the software that came with your camera and download the movies from there. Please refer to the manual on how to do this because this changes depending on the software and camera model.
Once you have downloaded the movie from your camera to the computer then you can share them through various methids. It all depends on how big the file is. You should try to limit the file size to no more than 5mega bytes (MB). You could do more but it get anoying to download for your family. Especially if they have a slow internet connection. Here are various options to deliver the files.
1) burn it to a cd and mail a copy to them.
2) e-mail them the file as an attachment. There could be a size limit to this.
3) use a messanger service like yahoo messager. sned it through there. I think it allows file tranfers up to 1Gb.
4) use a free web service where you can upload the movies to. Then your family members can go to the site and downlod the movie from there. Of the top of my head there is this site which has a free option. http://rapidshare.com/
there are other such website available too. I just happen to like this one.

The internet. Youtube is the most popular, but there are other sites as well. Also, you can send them as email attachments (have to be <10 MB). If you want to go all out, get a DVD authoring program such as nero, and make dvds. The most convenient, least expensive and safest way would be by the internet, but DVDs offer the best quality and experience. Hope this helps!

On line video sharing is convenient, but often the video quality suffers due to high compression. Another way is to simply burn a DVD is send it in the mail - I have to do this for my parents as they don't use computers (but they do have a DVD player).

Least expensive and safest > invite them to your house to watch them with you.
Most convenient > youtube
