transfering video files from a PC to Mac?

[videopoo]

I have a client who works on a PC. Im on a mac. We formated my firewire drive on his system. I can transfer these files from the drive to my mac but I cant transfer file to the firewire drive.

Is this an NTSF / FAT32 thing? How do I get my firewire to work correctly on both a PC and Mac?

Thanks

Mac has always been better at accepting files from PC, than the other way around.
If your Mac has a cd burner, burn the files as PC compliant, then try copying those files over to the firewire drive from the cd drive. May be convoluted, but it might just work.

I use a 10GB 2.5" HD with Firewire to move files from my Mac to PC and the other way. As long as the file formats are compatible, never had any problems. I use FAT32 on the HD; NTSF didn't work for me. G4, 1.2Ghz.

these are huge video files , so Firewire is the only option. Are G4s FAT 32? would it be better to format the drive that way. I have to have this running for my clients sake!

I'm not sure about my G4, I think it's using the Mac HFS+ hd format. I have it disconnected at the moment, so I can't check.

If the 4GB FAT32 filesize limitation is not a problem, that's probably the way to go.
