>vacation movies

You're never going to watch them, ever. Just delete them.

either install ntfs-3g on linux and format ntfs
or install ext2fsd on windows and format ext4

but expect bluescreens on extensive i/o from the 2nd variant.

This if you're not a freetard who doesn't mind installing "non-free" drivers on their Linux machines

I do however think exFat is not supported OOTB by Linux and you have to install the driver first.
It is supported OOTB by Windows and OSX tho

NTFS. It's shit but it's compatible ootb with everything out there but MacOS, and you can get that with a number of software.

FAT32 and use mkvmerge to split up large movie files.
