fat32 vs ntfs

Quote:
Ntfs - the only filesystem allowing read/write access and files greater than 2GB under Windows and Linux. Good for USB storage.

Is this no longer accurate about fat32? I just used a 4 gb flash drive to share several video files between Windows XP and Linux Mint.

I also plan on sharing several files in the future with that 4 gb flash drive between XP and Mint so I was wondering if I should use fat32 or ntfs. Fat32 seems faster than ntfs, so I think I would prefer fat32. Please explain why with whichever way you say.

NAME
libquvi - Overview of query media library DESCRIPTION
libquvi is a cross-platform library for parsing flash media stream URLs with C API. The term "quvi" is a shorthand for "query video". API documentation <http://quvi.sourceforge.net/doc/> Motivation libquvi originates from the idea of allowing users to view the videos without having to install or use flash. It is a "workaround", not an "alternative" to flash. See also: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Performance> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Flash_client_security> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Alternatives_to_Flash> ENVIRONMENT
LIBQUVI_SCRIPTSDIR Path to the libquvi-scripts directory. This overrides the libquvi default search paths for the scripts. See also the tutorial in the "API documentation". LIBQUVI_SHOW_SCANDIR If set, libquvi prints the lua script search paths to the stderr. LIBQUVI_SHOW_SCRIPT If set, the lua scripts found by libquvi are printed to the stderr. WWW
