Mac / PC

Hi,
Here's a problem that I personally haven't
run into, but decided to ask anyway. : )
What if somebody were to need a solution for
moving large amounts of data (eg video)
from a PC to a Mac (or vice versa) -
they buy a 120 GB external FW drive,
format it into DOS format with SilverLining Pro,
the PC, MacOS 9 and X all can read / write to the disk
and everyone's happy... until the day they capture a file
that's bigger than 2 GB ! (pretty soon probably)
Windos can't read HFS+, nor can MacOS read NTFS (gotta love
the OSwars...)

So is there a format one should use (UDF ?) for this or
should one just keep the problem in mind and capture
accordingly?

TIA,
filipp
