Convert exe. to quicktime

Your terminology is a bit confusing, but let's see if we can straighten this out:

1. You say you download TV shows, but they come down as "exe" file, yet later a dialog box identifies the file as a "mov" file, not a "exe" file.

2. Once ordered from the iTunes Store, any TV show, such as the 11th episode of Season 3 of Cougar Town would come down as a "m4v" file and play in Quicktime without any problem.

3. There are transcoding programs that could change your download to one that is consistent with Quicktime, but:

4. I must conclude that you have not purchased this show from iTunes for $2.99 nor have you digitized it yourself from its telecast on ABC (starting with Season 4, you must subscribe to the TBS Cable channel to watch this show); in other words you have pirated this show off of the internet.

Network quality prime-time television shows are premium efforts that require the combinations of skills of many talented people in Hollywood. If you are not willing to pay $2.99 to help compensate all of these people for their efforts, then I am afraid that I am not willing to help you in this effort.

When these downloads infect your computer with virus' we will not help you straighten that problem out either!

I have had the same problem. I have found that by changing the file name I can get it to play.

For some reason the downloaded file gets identified as an exe (or something else) file. If you just change the suffix at the end of the file name to .mov, .mp4, .wmv, .avi, mpeg, etc. then sometimes it plays. Try them all, and see which one works. Also try opening the file in other player applications, like VLC.

Even if the name ends with .mov, sometimes renaming it the same thing does the trick. Go figure.

Good luck.
