You cannot convert Apple/Mac software to PC/Windows software....Software applications (sometimes known as executable programs---.EXE in PC) have an ending or extension (the letters after the period or dot) of .exe for PC and .dmg for Mac (generally). Without saying too much more it just cannot be done.
What one can do is CONVERT any Mac or PC movie, audio or video file that can then be watched on whatever OS (operating system---XP/Vista or OSX/Mac or Linux). This is done with video conversion software. One quick thing---it would very helpful to know what format the movie is in NOW in order to convert it ti the proper format.
For instance: a PC .wma, .avi, divx, .vob, .mpeg, .wmv or whatever can be easily converted to a file that any modern Mac with an updated Quicktime program will play.
With todays cross-platform compatability Quicktime (with the proper codecs) will play almost ANY windows media file; and vice versa; a PC will play a Macintosh .aac with the correct player/codec (a codec is short for "compression/de-compression). Flash media can be playey with u a universal flash player etc.......
So, if you need further help just leave a message (with what type of movie you are trying to view and on what type of Mac machine and OSX)...
Don't quite know what you are referring to about "a mac free program". Free as in no charge---freeware? or mac free as in no mac around I need to convert my iPod movies?......
Just let me know,
Regards,
Jason
