Launch HandBrake, reduce the window size of the video to 544x304 in Picture Settings and save as an MPE4 to fit in 100 meg or less. It may be easier to go straight from iMovie to an uploadable file, but I have not found a good combination using just the iMovie export/share process - I came up with the iDVD - HandBrake work around after lots of experimentation.
