Running an exe program on my mac HELP

Hey guys first of all thanks for checking out this topic, I really need your help. You are lucky because many people dont know what you are about to find out. There is a video player called Splash Pro made by Mirillis, that plays 720p and 1080p mkv movies top quality, true bluray by using hardware acceleration. If you are interested just google it. It really is the best software I tried and people complain that everything looks too HD! ;D
The problem is that they promised a version for mac but its not out yet and don’t think it will ever be out.
I tried crossover it starts but the movie is black and its buggy as hell. I also tried parallels but it doesnt support hardware acceleration so the program is useless. I also tried installing with wine but it hangs. I really REALLY need this program on my mac because Im tired of having to boot into windows just for that. Not many people know about this software so not many solutions given if any online. Please suggest me what to do, and if it worked for you explain what you did, thanks in advance!

You will never get an exe to work on a mac as well as it it does on windows. You can try using WINE for mac but you probably won’t get the results you want.
Just use VLC for your video files, it is by far the best media player I have ever used and supports all known formats.

I use VLC. Its complete crap compared to Splash. VLC skips frames to play mkv’s smoothly and viewing 1080p on it makes no real difference to the eye from 720p. Try out the Splash player guys, turn on hardware acceleration and keep motion and detail to the max in settings.

you’d need a virtualisation platform that supports hardware accelerated graphics that runs on osx something like RemoteFX and compatible hardware to use it. But this is usually only found in servers with NVIDIA Quadro and is all a bit involved for a video player.
Why not pick up a atom board (preferably with NVidia ion) and create a HTPC

I was thinking… is it possible to find a guy who will take the code of the program and rewrite it for Mac? unofficially of course.
