What is the best file format for PC (Windows7 64bit) and Mac OSX 9.2.1?

My external hard drive containing files from my PC (Windows 7, 64 bit), says the files are READ ONLY. I'm trying to work of files on my Macbook Pro (OSX, 10.9.2). If I have to reformat  the drive, what is the best format that will work for both systems?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The Tuxera NTFS for mac seems to have fixed the issue.
My question now is, Will reformatting to ExFatbe better or quicker?
Thank you to AL of you for your help!

  • What is the best file format for photos?

    Greetings.
    I am going to be importing some photos into FCE 3.5.1 to do some effects and motion. What is the prefered file format form Photoshop for FCE? TIFF, JPEG, and PS format all import, but I'm just wondering if one is prefered over the other.
    My images will be pretty big, 3000 pxels x xxx at 72dpi, so I can move in and out, and maybe pan.
    Thanks.

    PNG, PSD. Don't make the image larger than you need to.

  • What is the best file format for importing photos into Imovie?

    What is the best format to save photos in before bringing into Imovie? What is the best resolution for them and what is the best size? These will eventually be ported over to IDVD. It seems that as jpgs Imovie didn't recognize them, but as psds it did.

    hi Richard:
    Just a personal preference, but if I intend on using the photos for printing I keep them in the PSD form. When adding to imovie, however, I use .pict

  • What's the best file format for exporting to web?

    Hey Everyone- I design Hot Rods using an older CS3 version of Illustrator. The art board is 16x20".  When I print I use Walmart's photo lab and with an exported jpeg file at 150 dpi the print looks crisp and nice and highly detailed. When I save a file for emailing proofs to clients or posting on car forums, I have been exporting the file as 72 dpi at 10" wide. When I do this the art often looks a bit blurry and not near as crisp as the vector file.
    I have to have the files viewable via the internet, this is how I do all my marketing for new customers. They need to be relatively low in file size to load quickly in forums and such. What's the best way to accomplish this without losing resolution quality?
    Below is an example. This one turned out ok,  but some detail gets lost between the vector file viewed at the same size and the web based jpeg.
    Thanks in advance for any insight!

    HRD,
    You may use PDF for proof and anything else but web/screen use, for unlimited crispness and smoothness.
    For web and the like, the obvious way may be PNG24 with transpanency at exactly the same size in pixels x pixels that it is being shown at, and with Art Optimized ticked in the Image Size window. That should give crisper images than JPEG.

  • What is the BEST file format for editing HD in CS5?

    We are building a remote production truck and it will be tapeless with all hard disk video recording. We have not decided on what brand of disk based recording system we are getting.
    I am looking for opinions of what the most ideal file format to capture in HD for editing in CS5? What is the highest quality yet fastest and most efficient for editing basic 1080i30 or 1080p30 video for broadcast?
    There are so many devices that capture quicktime but quicktime is crippled to 32bit in windows and we want to avoid it.
    thanks!

    I'm sorry i guess i didn't mean to confuse you with the word "capture" in that question. there are
    tons of hard disk based recording systems out there that "capture" our video to a disk into a file we can import into premiere and edit.
    This will be a live production truck, video will come out of our production switcher SDI into some companies recording device which will have a plethora of codec choices to record with. We want to choose a product that will give us files that will work best in premiere CS5 with gtx460 gfx cards and matrox axio le hardware.  Just wanted to see if anyone who has edited various codecs has noticed if any seem to work faster and better then others.
    there are many companies we are looking at that make such disk based recorders including nnovia,aja,panasonic/p2, fast forward, etc...
    i want to avoid quicktime and am more interested in mpeg4, or mpeg4 part10 (h264), or p2, omf, mxf are possibilities, any opinions?

  • What's the best file format to save a book and then have it printed?

    Hi all, I'm putting together a photo album, in colour if it's not too expensive, for my school and using Aperture's book-making function to do so. I see that there are a number of way to save the book, including as a pdf and jpg. What would be the best way to save this 40-50 page book so that I can take it to quality printer and have the book produced? Are there differences in cost depending on the file? Thanks.

    Your printer will want the PDF. If your design includes bleeding photos across two pages be sure to discuss this with the printer and have them look at how Aperture handles those facing pages. There should be no problem but its something to check.

  • What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg?

    What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg? I'm trying to figure out the best file format / compression for importing images into iBA. Also, does anyone know how iBA will compress the file? Are the assets attached (like a website) or flattened out? Does anyone know how iBA handles this? Many many thanks to anyone with insight into this.

    This question is largely answered by the following thread...

  • What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder        for use on Final Cut Pro X?

    What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts  files for use with Final Cut Pro?

    This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
    If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
    Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
    I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
    Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
    Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

  • What is the best file format to use with imovie?

    I am relatively new to Mac and got it for music production, but more recently I have been messing around with video and a I have difficulty dealing with Mpeg and some other file types with imovie. My question is this, what file format will automatically import into imovie the way that iphoto imports from my camera? and if they aren’t recognised, what is the best file converter??

    'best' is, what iMovie is intended for - straight from tape-based or AVCHD camcorder.
    'best' in terms of most versatile and offering the 'best' format (=iM's own AppleIntermediateCodec) is free Mpeg Streamclip
    only for convertiing mp2, such as non-copyprotected videoDVDs, you need the 20$ mp2-playback-component ......

  • What is the best file format to start with?

    I have not quite figured out what is the best way and best tool (Photo
    shop, Fireworks, Illustrator?) to optimize images to put on a web page?
    I know that there is a "save for web" feature that is very useful.
    But what I want to know is what is the best file to start with, to resize larger or smaller, and save for web,
    and still get a clean and crisp looking Jpeg, png, or whatever?
    I have a client who sends me EPS images to use for their logos. It is too big and I have to resize it.
    Is this a good format to start with and to resize, or should I tell the client to send it to me in a different format?
    They also send me huge raw photoshop files (with layers and all) that I have to put in a much smaller
    placeholder..Again, is this a good file format to start with and resize and save for web?
    and if so, which tool is best to use in this case to its reduce size this file and get optimal quality - Ps, Fw, or Ai??
    or should I tell the client to send it to me in a different format?
    what is the best format to start with, so I can tell clients to send me their images in that format?
    if anyone can point me to some links or other place where I can find this information that will be great?
    thanks!!!

    Photoshop and Fireworks can both create files (raster images) suitable for placing images on the web. Some people prefer one to the other. If your not doing editing then Fireworks is probably the tool geared most towards that goal. If you want to create vector graphics for use on the web, neither Photoshop nor Fireworks are suitable. Illustrator is the tool to use.

  • What is the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?

    As I have read, MS Office 2013 is able to read and write the ISO/IEC 29500 strict (standardized Office Open XML) file format. MS Office 2010 was only able to read the strict format and MS Office 2007 could neither read nor write the strict format. The
    .docx, .xlsx and .pptx saved by Office 2007 and 2010 were only complying to the OOXML transitional, as far as I understood.
    My main question is what the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013 actually is? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?
    In case, MS Office still saves in the transitional standard by default, is it possible to set the strict standard in the settings? Is this recommended (I assume that OOXML strict is the future) to do this?
    Thanks.

    Yes, the Transitional is still the default file format for saving in Office 2013, and we can modify this setting in Word Options, Save:
    As Alex Brown covers in his
    blog post, "Transitional is intended to preserve the fidelity of existing binary documents being migrated to ISO/IEC 29500, and includes many legacy features for compatibility with existing documents. Strict is a subset of Transitional that does not
    include legacy features – this makes it theoretically easier for a new implementer to support (since it has a smaller technical footprint, so to speak), but also makes it less able to preserve the fidelity of existing documents."

  • What is the best file extension for import?

    When converting a DVD to another file extension for FCP, what is the best file extension to use? When I was using Adobe products, I would convert the DVD with Stream Clip to an AVI or MPEG and bring it right in. I found these do not work well in FCP. I know I can play it in and make a capture, I was just trying to find what file extension I should use to bring it right into the browser. I receive some DVD's that are quite long and would rather convert them to another extension instead of playing it in to capture.

    In MPEG Streamclip, use the export settings that match your FCP Sequence settings. Typically that would be QuickTime DV/DVCPro (NOT .DV Stream).
    Here's a 2 part tutorial on MPEG Streamclip by Nick Holmes:
