You win, FCP X will not run in Windows without VMware or some such voodoo. I dunno if even that’ll work.

But, uh, weren’t we talking about file systems? 😉

Someone much smarter than me (not hard to find BTW) would have to answer that question. Although, I was mostly eluding to the fact that Apple doesn’t license OSX… subtly making my case that they are less interested in cross platform compatibility than Microsoft… which obviously licenses Windows to Apple. 🙂

Yes, isn’t Apple’s willingness (or not) to license or openly document APfs fair game? I was just agreeing with Oliver that it probably isn’t. 🙂

Huh?… 🙂

Sorry, that was badly worded (really long week). Microsoft licenses Windows so it can run on a Mac.

gotcha… It’s all very convoluted, maybe there should be just one OS that runs everything! 😀

[Walter Soyka] “Does exFAT not work for you?”

I have not had a single client turn up with an exFAT drive. Most are HFS+ (FCP7 users are still my main source) and a few NTFS. I have the choice with my own footage shot on Blackmagic cameras to use exFAT and shoot DNx but most editors would prefer ProRes so I format the cards HFS+. My Resolve PC mostly has HFS+ drives plugged in.

That’s why what Apple does is important to me if the keep their format to themselves. Thank god for Macdrive.
