ok, the setup i am working to build

i have a 160 gig hd

i plan on shrinking windows xp down to 40 gigs
then installing linux to another 40 gig section.

the other 80 gig, i want to format so that it can be read by both windows 
and linux.

i know ntfs is out, linux isnt so good at reading it.
i know fat16/32 are both useable by windows and linux.

is there any other format i should consider useing that can be read by both 
win and linux?

reason for this is i plan to use the 80 gig section to "pass" video's back 
and forth between they two. im expecting files to be between 1 and 2 gig. 
(maybe smaller? not sure, dont have the files yet to know)
