Hi all,

I've got a lot of video files from a film that i've show on a mac at uni that I would like to transfer over to a pc back at halls. I've been told that due to how my ext. HD has been formatted that I can't use that on a mac as it needs to be fat32 and I have too much on there to format it. Apart from DVD's what other ways are there for in the future?

Thanks in advance guys :)
 
The other option is to install some software on your mac to allow it to write to the NTFS-formatted hard drive.

There's one you can pay for called Paragon NTFS for OS X, which does a good job and is easy, just install it, and then you can write to NTFS.

The other option is free, but not as simple. You can install Macfuse and NTFS-3G which should do the same job as the Paragon software.

Either way, once you've got it working it makes things a lot easier as you don't need to worry how external drives are formatted.
