I will be receiving a new Fantom external harddrive today, and while it comes with FAT32 format, it can easily be converted to NTFS as well.

Which format do you recommend, and why?

I will be using the harddrive primarily to store race-related movies and media. I'm using an older Windows PC with Windows ME.

I read somewhere that NTFS can be recognized by Apple/Macs, but am not sure if that's true or not. Thus, I'd appreciate recommendations and/or feedback in regards to which format is ideal for me.
