Hi Steve,
you either need a NTFS-extension (free: NTFS-3G, <https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/NTFS-3G>) or paid: Paragon <http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/how_it_works.html>) but you can check with the client if they (highly likely) can handle ExFat, which is read-/writeable on Apple-OS (and you can format to this in "Disk Utility" as well as on Windows.

I have PCs and Macs running Avid here.
A client gave me a 132GIG thumb drive to transfer some files to him. (Ah, the joys of file transfer to USB). The client's shop is All PC.
Some of the files are large (27Gigs). The files are now sitting on a Mac (about 80gigs worth, total)
To put 27gig files on a drive that is PC compatible requires NTFS, correct?
So I formatted it as NTFS on a PC, but on my Mac, the drive now says that it's read-only.
Can I create an NTFS formatted thumb drive that can be used to save stuff on a Mac (not just read)? What do I need to do?
The other (less desirable) solution is to transfer the 80gigs of material over ethernet to the PC and "burn" the USB drive there.
Steve
