Using UDF on USB sticks (removable media)

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to access (read / write) UDF (2.5 and 2.6) on OS X 10.4. I've read somewhere that Leopard OS X 10.5 can, but I've yet to hear confirmation from anyone.

Basically, I want to handle files bigger than 4Gb on USB sticks.

Thanks,

Yao

Hi there,

Not sure about your question, but I assume this is for sharing with PCs, if so, Tiger can do NTFS...

And PCs can do HFS+.

MacDrive for you PCs... allows them to Read/Write HFS+...
