Will a videoskin created for pc also work on a mac or are they differences in the script?
If so, what are the differences?

No they're universal

There's a minor difference on how text appears between the two OS.
Therefore, depending on what elements you put on a videoskin, you may want to also preview it on both systems before finalizing it.
Differences are not major, but if you try to squeeze a lot of text in small areas, you may need to adjust things a little bit.

I assume you can add different text code for each OS and have the videoskin check, the same as with normal skins?

Just making sure the text areas have a couple of pixels extra space should be fine

As Adion said, just make sure you don't squeeze the text without any "headroom" pixels.. :P
Other than that, yes you can make the skin check the OS and use other text in case of each OS, but I think there's no need for that unless you want to use some kind of font(s) that are not available on both platforms.
So, if you want to use some special (different) font(s) then yes you'll have to make the skin query the OS that's running.
