Hi all,

I have a ton of raw dv saved locally and I need to throw it on an external to send to my office. Problem is, whenever I copy it the process dies midway through giving me an error with a specific file (which is always different) and then any files before it aren't copied.

How should I format the external to receive these files (some in excess of 10gb) AND work on windows?

If it matters I'm running 10.3.9 on a dual G5.

Thanks everyone!

Well in short there is no way, NTFS is the only filesystem supported by Windows that can handle files large than FAT32s limit of roughly 4gigs, unfortunately OSX cannot write to it, so, my suggestion is to format the drive as MacOS extended and look into a program called MacDrive for the Windoze machines so they can read the OSX partition.

You can use MacFUSE to write to NTFS. Google will find it for you. (It's a Google Code Product)
