How to run a exe on mac

If it's an .exe, then you need Windows. Darwine may work, but it's pretty spotty on anything but the most generic & broadly-distributed apps.
Check the CrossOver site to see programs that have been tested on it- I found them pretty limited (again similar to those that work with Darwine) and have not had much luck in getting non-listed programs to work with it. Try before you buy on that one!
Crossover is the commercialized Darwine implementation. Slicker front end, but still the same engine.
Seconded. Maybe you should look into something called Handbrake...but I'm sure others could contribute other programs as well that would do the same thing just as well on a Mac.
Edit: I see what you're trying to do with Tunebite, you'll need bootcamp most likely and have to throw windows on your mac...or use Parallels.
Ah. "... iTunes purchased video ..." means it's DRM'ed.
There is a Mac program that will do this for iTunes music and video pre-8.0.2. But I'm sure it's against the forum rules to tell you where to get it. Still, it shouldn't be too hard too find. I found it by Googling. You just have to think of the right Google search query.
