I believe DAVE, from Thursby Software is the software that allows this.
There is a free trial download on their website.

Also, maybe MacLan.

The other choice is to format the drive on the Mac and get MacDrive software
for the PC to read it.

That's what I have, since I do almost all my video capturing on the Mac.
