Well, I gotta tell you, I have two external HD's networked to this thing, and they are the same as they were for my years in Windows, and I did NOT have to do anything to them; I am able to read from them, and save new files to them, and I did NOT format them, or anything like that; now, they are NETWORKED in my house, via my router, so everyone has access to them, both mac machines, and a vista machine..I think you only need to re-format them if you attach them directly to a OSX machine, via usb/firewire...
The BEST proggie for processing all video "stuff" is called VisualHub; it coverts, compresses, changes from PAL to NTSC AUTOMATICALLY, and blows away anything I have used in Windows..
Its so much easier to have "fun" with these machines, 'cause you don't waste hours every day/week fixing and cleaning stuff!!
BTW, there is a free proggie called "Onyx", that does about all the maintenance stuff you need on a Mac..
