If you will only ever use it on a PC using XP, or later, NTFS
If you MIGHT need to use it on a Win98 machine FAT32
NTFS does not have the 2GB file size limit of fat32 . . . so for large video files it's better

I would use NTFS. If you plan on sharing the drive out or anything, NTFS is a more secure file system.

I would say NTFS...but if you ever disconnect it so it can work on a Mac too (Like exchanging files, etc), I would use Fat32.

If you may be using the drive with linux or macs then FAT32. IF all you will be using is Windows XP or later then I would use NTFS.
NTFS support from non Microsoft operating systems is limited as Microsoft has not publicized it.
