Hey, I'm planning to buy the latest Macbook Pro 15 inch core i7 for college. I'm on Windows 7 right now, and have a huge library of videos, basically movies and TV shows I've recorded. I have a couple of questions.
1) Can I simply copy my video library to my external hard drive(NTFS formatted) and access those files on my Mac or does the external drive need to be formatted to some other file format?
2) Most of my videos are in .avi or .rmvb or .mkv format. Is there some kind of K-Lite Codec Pack or some other alternative for Mac which I need to use?
3) Not related to Mac, but I'm also considering the Studio XPS 16 1645, coz of it's full HD display and Blu Ray support. Anybody knows any site I can get it's review? Most sites have the 1647/1640 version reviewed. Basically I wanna know accurately it's battery life, coz that's the only place where it falls behind in comparison to Macbook Pro.
Thanks
