    Scott,

    Look at any of the products from AJA or Blackmagic Designs. They can do what you’re asking. Plenty of info on their websites.

    I teach at a college. We require all our students to have firewire drives. For classes doing video production they must be formatted HFS+. All the PC labs have Mac Drive. The biggest problem is students forcing the firewire connections and shorting out the motherboards or their firewire bridges.

    FAT 32 does not work well. Sometimes is works and sometimes it corrupts files. Then there is the file size issue. I realize that many people posting here have no problems with FAT 32 across platforms, but I have 1,000 students using their drives daily across platforms and THERE IS A PROBLEM using FAT 32. File corruption does happen! NTFS does not work.

    I use DATA VIZ on my business PC. MAC DRIVE also works.

    That’s my 2 cents.
