Ok so long story short I have 500gbs of video footage to transfer off of a g4 running tiger to my main windows 8 rig, the only issue is that I have no fricking idea how to get the two machines to talk.
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
I thought Tiger was dead...![]()
It is, very much for the consumer. But for the professional who just wants to get a bit of work done and no play. It should work just fine on my quicksilver for "This task"

That is simply wrong. Just because you can't load facebook (which I want to verify), doesn't qualify an OS as dead.
put it on your mdd, run firefox (won't load) run omniweb and tenfourfox and safari latest version for tiger. None of them won't load facebook
so for the consumer who just wants to use an older pro tower to check facebook
Tiger is dead
but to the professional who just wants it to edit standard deff videos in Final cut pro
Tiger will last forever
If networking does not work (and I have tried many times with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and Windows XP and Windows 7, sometimes it works, sometimes the same steps do not work), what about using an external HDD or HDD enclosure to put the HDD from your G4 into?
AFAIK that needs the drive to be FAT32, so Windows can read and copy the files. While Macs can read (but not write) from NTFS.
There is Tuxera, 15 days test version, that adds NTFS write drivers to 10.4 and 10.5, but I do not recommend it, others report file corruption or data loss. I had to completely erase the drive 2 times and start again with copying small numbers of files after one another, until it worked, because it hang up during copy process.
