I have old logitech webcam exe files that I want to play on Mac 10.8.2. How do I make conversions to accomplish this.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Exe files are Windows application files.
Sorry, accidentally hit add reply! Like I said above exe is an application format. I'm guessing that the files you want to run are some type of video file? WMV maybe?
Try VLC it's free http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
The files are videos taken with a Logitech webcam which are saved as exe files. Thanks, I will look into VLC
You may need to change the filenames from .exe to .wmv or .avi in order to open them. I'd try it with one to see if it works before changing any others.
you mean I can just change the name of the file from exe to wmv? I will try with one to see if it works. Thanks!
Yes you can change the file name to reflect a different extension. Wether or not it works we'll have to see. I'm still trying to figure out how the files got saved with a .exe extension. It should have been .avi or .wmv according to Logitech's web site.
My son suggested a fix that worked for me. I was trying to convert some videos taken 10 years ago using a Logitech Quickcam. The videos were saved as video email player which made them exe files. The fix is to use a screen capture program (we used Bandicam) to capture the video while playing the video file. Had to save them as WMV files which I then converted to M4V files to play on my MAC. I could size the capture window which made it a perfect fit to the video. It turned out great as I now can play those videos in Windows Media Player, and Quick Time. I am no longer in danger of loosing precious family videos. Thank you for all your help.
Outstanding! I'm glad that you got it figured out.
