[Colin McQ] “If you format an external HD for use on a mac, you can only read, not write the that drive on a PC.”

[Walter] That’s actually incorrect. A Mac formatted drive will show up as un-readable by a Windows machine.
What you need to do is format the external drive on the PC as a Mac can read and write to a PC formatted drive.

You are so correct on this. My biggest complaint with Apple’s implementation of FCP and all the studio packages for that matter, has been design. Shake is their only package that I like the look of, and of course, by the time they update it, it may be wearing the same bullshit look of the other packages. For a company that has always trumpeted, and rightfully so, good design, they have completely missed the mark. Small if not miniature buttons, horrible icon design, and if I see one more screen of brushed aluminum, I am going to puke.
