I haven't purchased a Mac before, and I have a question about data transfer between PCs and Macs. Is this possible directly between each device? If so how, wired/wirelessly

And if anyone knows, can Final Cut Pro/Studio load .avi files?

In R4, more or less
Through any wired/wireless network you should be able to file share. I don't know how it all looks on the Windows side, but the Mac has no problem reading from shared windows drives in my experience.

As far as I know, Windows doesn't have any cool target firewire modes or anything, so I don't know how well such an option would work. It could.

But the network (wired or wireless) is probably the way to go.

Thanks for the replies guys. Figured out that Final Cut Pro can edit .avi fine so I've got answers to both of my questions.
