Movie Files from Mac to PC

I have a movie (.mov) file on a Mac G4 computer that I have to somehow transfer to a Windows 95/98 PC. The file is too large to send over e-mail. The G4 has a Zip disk in it. Is it possible for me to format a Zip disk for a Windows machine, put the .mov file on the Zip disk, and then just read it on my Windows machine? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

You are correct sir! Do the zip thing! Don't forget the ".mov" suffix on the file. Otherwise: Go to "freediskspace.com" and sign up. You can upload it there and give the recipient your shared access password and he/she can download it.

I am not sure whether pc reads mac formatted zip disk so I would try using icq or AIM to transfer the file if you have a pretty good internet connection
