Files on Mac Drive, want to get them on PC

telecaster · 2010-02-22 14:08:19

Maybe someone can help with this problem... I have a Mac formatted external drive with 100GB of video files. I don't have a Mac. I want to get these video files on to my PC. I've been quoted Eur100 by a company who will do this for me. It seems excessive. Has anyone got any ideas? I'm based in North County Dublin if anyone…

I'm based in North County Dublin if anyone wanted to hire me a Macbook for a day while I transfer the files.

I haven't used it myself but it's worth a try.

Has a trial version, which if it's not hobbled, might do you

I used an earlier version which worked great.
