Well, ExFAT is cross-platform.
Another alternative I have used is to zip the file with spanned 4gb size limit.

I'm experiencing this limit with a usb jump drive with 16 GB capacity trying to copy a 7.3GB QT movie. If I reformat EXFat it will copy. Okay I get this but it seems like everyone always says format cross platform media drives etc.... to Fat-32 to bounce between Macs and PCs. What happens in Avid with a media drive formatted Fat 32 and a media file in excess of 4 GB? What if I do a video mixdown to a Fat 32 of an hour show? I'm usually running Mac OS extended volumes on my Mac systems but it would seem over the years I would have hit a 4 GB road block at some point on Avid, other the the omf/aff limitations that can now be bypassed. Not having a problem but I can't believe I've never been burned by this with external drives.
