yeah, i do all my video on an external as well, so as long as you have FW800 you should be good.
journaling is explained here-->

do not use journaling if you are gonna be doing any video work on the drive. it WILL slow it down and give you headaches.

mac os extended (journaled)
Its the standard one.If you needed the other ones, you would know why you were choosing them.
