Well I cant seem to install the patchmii core thing, so I cant install the patchmii core way, then, I get a menu up, and I go to play the dvd then it freezes.
I am thinking of just not doing it and leave the watching of movies uotp my dvd payer to do.

Ahh well that does suck.... maybe wait for a more definite way to be released before you jump on the bandwagon, I dunno.

@ Wiidude;
It's a pretty straight forward release, I had no problems with doing it, nor did Azza or anyone else I know to have it working successfully. All I used was the link at the top of this page....

But as for me, I have a chip, so either way didnt bother me.

Firstly; When installing the movie player, it ASKS you if you have a chipped Wii. Do a little more research before you rush into it Matteh, I think it requires a different sort of setup before you lunge right into it.

Oh ok then, well thats why I am asking you

But will do some more research about it later on tonight, or tomorrow arvo.

Ok thnx for that. How big is your sd card? If it can fit a movie, must be big, or is only a small movie?
=D

Nope, standard 2GB SD card. DVD-Rips are perfect quality, 698 - 705mb, on the dot. Can easily fit two full length, perfect quality movies onto the SD

Oh wow! I did not know that. Mine is a lousy 512mb lol. So I dont know if I would fit too much on there.

I tried firstly to run a file off my SD card. The file, when on PC, is perfect quality yet when I played it via. Wii, the picture is a little blurry and colour-distorted. Not sure why. But hopefully this will be fixed in later versions.
Tested it;
Plays normal DVDs, burnt DVDs. Unfortunatly, I have no non-Region 4 DVDs, so I can't test for international workings.
I reccomend it though

So it only goes a lower standard via SD play?

Also, burnt dvds, do you have a modded wii or no?

I will be doing all of this before the week is over most likely.
