davegee Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Your MEDIA PLAYER in your TV will only play MPEG4 Video.AFAIK there is no utility which will convert an EXE into an MP4. You also have to ask the question: If it was your EXE would you want someone else converting it into another format? I wouldn't!The EXE will be of the order of 100Mb for example and the corresponding MP4 would be of the order of 1Gb.For your own shows use PUBLISH>HD Video for PC and Mac. Transfer to Memory Key and plug into TVs USB slot - then use the TVs Media Player.For other people's shows you need a PC connected to your TV to play the EXE via HDMI.DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You really should change that handle) I'll call you PM from now on.You don't need a converter to view exe files on your TV. If your TV has a VGA socket or an HDMI socket, you can buy a lead to connect your PC to your TV.Regards EricYachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't!DGDave, There wasn't anything sinister in this request. I merely thought it would be better to view some of the fine examples in this forum on a widescreen HD Tv instead of a 23 inch HD monitor.I have viewed my own on TV and that's why I thought it would be better to view others on a larger screen.Thanks for your interest and helpPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
