I can read/write files within an NTFS external USB drive.
I have some problems with large files like AVI/MKV stored on an NTFS external drive. Those files appears greyed into Finder and, always using Finder, when I "Open With" my video player I receive a strange error:
Item file.avi is used by Mac OS X and cannot be opened.
Well, I found a workaround: if I drag & drop file.avi into my video player everything works fine. But really I cannot figure out why this problem appears.
Please consider I haven't any NTFS custom drivers installed (i.e. MacFUSE or NTFS-3g). To mount my NTFS USB drive in R/W I have modified only /etc/fstab
