Actually a commercial version of NTFS-3G for the Mac. It turned out it carries a commercial NTFS driver from Tuxera with 64Bit support. I recently bought a toshiba portable 1TB USB drive which quoted 'Mac drivers' on the box. Though, writing to USB-sticks (especially cheap ones) can be extremely slow, and NTFS format doesn't actually speed it up on a Mac. Best way would be to run GPARTED or a Stick-bootable Linux and format the drive/stick under a real linux with the proper parameters. The basic trouble is that neither Paragon nor fuse-ext allows to format a disc/stick properly to ISDCF specs (that is, inodesize=128). A fellow filmmaker tried both ext2 and NTFS on 64GB sticks from a Mac and both worked for him.
