okay I really don't like macs very much and I don't use them, but i am now faced with the problem of editing with one at scholl and it is pissy... :evil:

Since the my hard drive has all the dv transfer on it, does any one know if a mac can read a NTFS hard drive, cause I have no idea how a mac even works, stupid mouse looks cool, but there is only one button :evil: :evil: :evil:

I seriously doubt it. Mac uses HFS so the NTFS wouldn't work with it.

Although you can probably burn the video files to disc and put them on a mac that way, or transfer them to the mac through a network.

And Mac's one button mouse is more user freindly than the 2 button w/ scroll button mouse that Windows computers use.

Oh one more thing, I believe there is software you can buy that would enable you to transfer files off your NTFS and FAT32 hard drives to your mac... but I don't know much about that.

If the Pc is networked and the mac is OS-X then use a Crossover network cable and file share it. You will have to set it up but on a mac it's not hard but the schools security may get in the way.

Move it to a fat 32 disk and the Mac will read it.

If you know ftp try that.

If the school is still useing Os-9 these ideas will still work, but dont judge Mac's by OS-9. OS-X is Unix and you don't want to make the Unix geeks mad.

Take the advantage and learn the Mac. Most Pro media creation is done on mac, at least till you need a Sun and then you still are in Unix.
