Opening .exe files/Converting video format

Is there a way to open .exe files on my MacBookPro? (There is no virtually pc emulator for the MbookP, yet). Also, what I am trying to do is convert music video files that I downloaded to .mp4 file format so I can watch them on my iPod....Unfortunately I have no clue what I am doing, and I don't know of any freeware. If you know how to do this-Post!

You can open .exe files on intel mac by booting into windows XP but that would involve using bootcamp
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
or virtualisation

If music videos play in your browser you can capture them using snapzpro

Opening .exe files

Sorry if this question has been asked before!
I'm using a MacBook and I'm having trouble opening files that are in .exe format. I do have MacLinkPlus but this program doesn't seem to be able to convert the file. Is there another way that I can open .exe files?
Thanks!
Tam

If there is a program you need to run and don't want to install a full Windows OS (via Parallels, Fusion or BootCamp) you may want to see if CrossOver Mac supports it.

What program to install and convert video formats...?

I am trying to find a program that will install on 10.3.9 and that can convert video formats (ie mpg and mp4 to wmv). Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. I did buy a newer Mac (PowerBook G4 with Leopard) but for now need to use my old Mac. I need to convert to WMV to use on my GoGear mp3 player, which is NOT Mac compatible, only Windows. How I miss my iPod Thanks again for any help.

Well ffmpeg should be included by default. It is the core of the VH engine, but it may have been updated since your version of VH. And you may not need it depending on the conversion you are trying to make. Which version of VH is it ?
So you are trying to convert the mpeg and mp4 files into wmv. Do you select the 320 pixels wide option ? Are the source movies 320 pixels wide ? or larger ?
What settings do you use in VH ? ie. Which tab do you select for converting to ? and what options do you select within it ?
Do you change the destination directory ?
If you open the mkv files in QuickTime, it may complain about missing codecs, click Cancel and it'll leave you with a blank window. Select "Show Movie Properties" under the Window menu, what is under "Format" for the Video Track ? Is there also an Audio Track ?
QuickTime shouln't complain about the movie, mpeg and mp4 should open and play just fine. If it does complain it's almost certain that the files are not the format they claim to be - the Show Movie Properties will sort this out.

Mac opening exe. files with Captivate 5

I am a Mac user and need to open exe. files from my lecturer. I have got Captivate 5 and have updated it with the patch BUT nothing I seem to do enables me to open the files. Can anyone please help?

Hello,
MAC will not open .exe files as .app is the extension for MAC Executable files, or if you want to install an application on MAC, you can use .dmg format
Thanks

Convert video format to flv

Anyone know how, or can point me in the direction as to how
youTube convert video formats to flv on their servers? thanks to
any responders.

I don't know exactly what youtube or google uses for their
transcoding systems but there are a few products that can do
exactly the same:
Rhozet
Flix Engine
FlipFactory
FFMPEG
FFMPEg is open source and you can download it for free,
during the other ones need a commercial license.

How do I open .exe files on my mac?

How do I open .exe files on my mac? I've downloaded a bunch of programs but they are all in .exe format. Do I need a program to extract these files?
Thanks,

Ok thanks. So how do you install programs that you download from the internet? I've downloaded some programs and when I try to install them it doesn't work.
First of all, you need to download things that are built to run on OS X - there is no way to install any Windows program in OS X. You need windows to run Windows programs.
Most downloadable programs for OS X will be distributed in a Disc Image file - *.dmg You would double click one to open it. Then, often it is as simple as drag the uncompressed folder to your Applications Folder. Sometimes there may be an installer to run. Once installed, you can eject the mounted dmg (drag it to the trash) and either keep is in case you ever need to reinstall, or delete it.

Well, if is a not to complex application that doesn't need a lot of resources, you may be lucky and be able to create a Mac version by encapsulating it in WINE with WineBottler: http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
Beware, Mac & Windows savvyness required. Not Plug & Play. But it IS free....

Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:

Unable to open .exe files in tutorials

Having a problem opening a .exe file from a tutorial in a year 9 maths book that is meant to be able to be opened from any version of adobe reader. Currently running reader X

Adobe Reader doesn't open EXE files. If it's an attachment to a PDF file, they've been blocked for security reasons since version 9.3.3

Opening mp4 files without video

I try to open mp4 files with video but some files opens video, some not. I can not fix the rule, becouse all files are mp4. I noticed "Auto open video panel when loading video files" in preferences is "on", so video panel is all the time open but video does not appear. I have Soundbooth CS4 and working with Windows7. I do not remember if I had problems when working with XP few months ago. Right now evidently I have problem. Can someone suggest what I should adjust in my Soundbooth or what I should pay attention to, when loading audio-video file ???
Regards

Discovered the issue.
For mounted drives you need to use the nativePath property.
For cross platform applications you can simply replace() the delimiter with the .separator property.
Also for some reason the skin wouldn't load, despite the fact that I had chosen it in the component selector.
I ended up setting the myFLVplayback.skin property just before I added the component to the stage.
On a related note, does anyone know if there's a difference between publishing an app with included folders, and simply publishing the app and adding the folders to the .app directory after the .app folder has been published?

That's a question only the provider of the application can answer.
You could also take a look into the system event log if there is an indication for the reason of the application failing to start properly. It is possible that certain services are required for the application, but they do not run on the machine.
Another point is possibly missing rights. So you might want to test the application once with the option "Run as Admin" (right click menu item on the application shortcut or the exe itself).

With that information we can give you the specifics of the how to. There are marked changes in the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 workspaces as compared to version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
