    Hi Guys

    I'm helping out a local church and want to help them get the best out of their multimedia projects.

    OK current scenario:

    .mov presentations / videos created on 2 Macbooks
    Once created, the finished files are sent to an external HDD
    Which is then disconnected from the Mac and reconnected to a Windows laptop / projector and played on screen via VLC.

    Now this system, although slightly cumbersome with the constant moving around of the external HDD, it works!

    Now my proposed scenario:

    All Macs / Windows machines are on the same network (both wired and wireless).

    Now I was thinking of attaching a NAS box to the network.
    Then Mac users can "send" their completed .mov projects to it.
    Windows laptop user then pulls the files from the NAS box and plays them on screen.

    Any advances on this?

    Info greatly appreciated

    I have seen in one of the biggest advertising agency office, they are using Netgear RND 4000 NV+ for their network storage, it works perfectly with their PCs and Macs.
