[QUOTE="Trolle, post: 1182640, member: 86801"] As far as I remember you can't use the FAT format to store video files used for iMovie. Although I may be remembering incorrectly. I seem to remember when I copied all my footage from my internal HDD I had to reformat my external from FAT. Sucks to find out later that you need to change from FAT when you don't have enough room to move the files over to another drive while reformatting. EDIT: I also just read this about Time Machine "Time Machine can’t back up to an external disk that's connected to an AirPort Extreme, or to an iPod, iDisk, or a disk formatted for Microsoft Windows (NTFS or FAT format)." So, if you want to use Time Machine format it. [/QUOTE]
