Hi

I am on mac osx and have clients who are on windows. Every now and then I run into a problem where I have large uncompressed mov or avi files I need to send to clients as final deliverables. We find that if the files are over 2gbs (usually much larger than that) the files cannot be accessed on windows.

I was told that the only way to do this so that windows can read the files is to burn to UDF format. I use Toast, and see this option, however I was reading on the web that you can only burn disk images in this format.

Any mac users here who have had this same problem? whats your solution and workflow?

THANKS!!

Thanks but dont see that option in toast. The client requests UDF.
