What is the compatibility of a Mac?

Macintosh computers can use many file types. .exe files are not compatible, nor are Windows System files such as .dll or .bat. Common files such as mp3, mp4, m4a, m4b, .mov, .au, .acc and .html are used by the Mac. There are hundreds of other file types that can be used by a Mac computer.

MPEG Streamclip and VLC are two such converters.
