OSX: Syncing VERY large video files across web

My impressions from recent web explorations has me questioning the
appropriateness of rsync ( or rsyncx ) for syncing large video/movie
files to remote locations.

Background: A friend who edits and creates movies would like to sync
his video files from his place of business to his home. These files are
quite large ( GB+ ). Assuming he starts with an approximate replica at home
how would you OSX gurus achieve sync-tastic perfection?

I do not use OSX for this kind of work and rsync(x) suits me fine, however,
I do not feel qualified to help him as I do not work with this size of file.

What is the recommended OSX/Mac way?

Also, he is not privy to the beauty of OSX's UNIX underpinnings ( ie. NEWB ) and may not appreciate a scripted approach.

As always --- thanks for reading.
