Does anyone have experience with outputting avis on the Mac and having them
sent to a PC for editing.

Someone with a PC would like this to happen but I have these concerns

a) to get over the FAT32 limit with a PC formatted drive, only 4G files would be alowed?
b)If the drive was given was Mac format HFS+, they wouldn't be able to read it.

Any ideas!

>b)If the drive was given was Mac format HFS+, they wouldn't be able to read it.

With MacDrive you can read HFS+ on a PC.

You can use Paragon's NTFS driver for Mac as well, this allows you to read and write to NTFS volumes which don't have that file size limit.

What software is the person on the PC going to be using?

If you're using HFS+ formatted drives, the person on the PC needs to have MacDrive installed in the machine.

If you're using NTFS formatted drives, you need to have NTFS for Mac installed in your machine.

Without additional software installed, HFS+ formatted volumes are unreadable on a PC, and NTFS formatted volumes are read-only on a Mac.

It just occurred to me that the Mac and PCs are on the same network;
so I could edit in FCP and write the avi to a PC via the 100base T network.
