Is there really a Mac download there? I went to the softpedia link both on a PC and on a Mac and the downloads offered had .exe extensions only. I'm not much of a Mac user, but I have one where I am now that's faster than the laptop I'm traveling with. I didn't think a .exe file would install a program on a Mac.

What am I doing wrong?

If you click on the blue "download" button that will bring you to another page with two download locations.

Clicking on the "External Mirror 2" link should fetch you a pkg.zip file.

External Mirror 1 has the PC .exe version.

Here's the direct link to the Mac version.

Also, I just discovered that the Video Encoding wiki page has downloads links to both versions.
