VHD is Microsoft's answer and Sparsebundle is Apple's answer but neither are cross platform... Truecrypt is a nice alternative but if I move the image from one disk to another it will expand to its full size rather than the space actually used by the image. Is there another alternative? I have tried using TransMac but the sparse bundles wont always open.
I'll explain what I use it for ... maybe I am going about this the wrong way. I run a (very) small videography/animation company. When I work on a new project for a client I make a Virtual Hard Disk and mount it. This way if I move the project to another drive or computer it wont break any references to files. Encryption isn't needed but Truecrypt is the only cross platform option I know. Just the volume size is quite limiting for my workflow.
