Tiger and NTFS and FAT32

[Temujin]

I'm aware that Apple cant write to NTFS formatted harddrives, only read.

But as far as im informed FAT32 can't handle files exceding about 4 gb. Am I wrong? If no what do you guys do when screwing around with large video files?

One uses HFS+ formatted drives. It works well since that is Apple's default disk format.

Is it supported by both Windows and Mac?

No.

But I guess ... okay, forgive me if I'm saying the patently obvious. If you have a drive sitting around, like a USB drive, there is no one disk format you can use that handles large files without problems, etc, and is read/write mountable on both PCs and Macs, as far as I know.

But if a drive in either NTFS or MacHFS+ is mounted on a computer and shared (served) by that computer across a network, then there is no issue -- Windows PCs can read/write to MacHFS+ disks that are being served by a Mac and Macs can read/write to NTFS disks that are being served to them by Windows.
