Mac to PC

[PaulTV]

I use a copy of Ubuntu on a DVD to boot, then transfer the file's, reboot and off you go. This method may take longer but is free.

This software will allow me to take a Mac external HD via firewire and copy Mac files onto my windows computer?

that is correct, I usually connect them via USB

also, you can copy files from PC back to the Mac Drive

If you use an external HDD formatted with exFat then you dont need any software to access mac specific partitions on your PC as both mac & PC recognise the exFat file system. If you can get the mov exported from FCP in ProRes you will not have to jump through any other hoops to edit.

you just need to purchase Macdrive for Windows, this will allow you to connect a Mac formatted drive and copy/paste the file to your local drive, then edit as normal
