Wii DVD Player

[tipoomaster]

This is available for IOS 4.3 now, right? I see some really cheap Wii's on Kijiji right now, I might pick one up mostly for homebrew stuff.

[EMan2ize]

nice movie .FT.

[Timstuff]

Modders do what Nintendon't, apparently. I wonder why Nintendo didn't include DVD playback in the first place?

[icegoomba]

@Timstuff

Nintendo would have to pay royalties to the inventor of DVDs

[averyellis]

you know, i would pay nintendo for this channel. why are they making me steal it?

[sonicepochguy]

@averyellis Homebrew is not stealing, it's modding. Stealing would imply that you took something of value without paying. Hacking a Wii and installing MPlayer (free, open source software) is not really stealing anything

[FabioNintendo]

i think its fake, u putted the dvd upside down. I think u backed up the movie to a usb flash drive and then played it with the homebrew app saying its the dvd, but i dont think it is.

[rickvrolings]

@FabioNintendo i also modded my 4.3 wii and i can also watch dvd's :))) ! it isn't upside down, the mirror side is at the sd card port side... so it isn't upside down!

[jason24568]

LOL, I saw on internet about a Wii clone DVD player called the Nintendon't Wee!!!

[jorge201021]

i only subscribe because of the song...i love this song i have this for my ipod =)

[Priscilla060]

nintendo should do this already cmon this is 2010 nintendo

[RandomKid5198]

Nice choice of movie!

[foolio1990]

no need for twilight hack, go to wiibrew

[uarecaught]

I have a question: Why can't my Wii load the freaking DVD?!?!?!?! I have the M-Player, and I inserted the DVD disc, and I wait for about 5 minutes, it still doesn't load... Can you please help? =S

[Kaiken69]

How does the light on your wii stay on?

[pollorock13]

wath its de name song?

[nasrannn]

it is not upside down look cerfull

[steviekeyz]

mine takes 2 seconds to load the dvd, you must have issues.

[n3oFire]

hey i have also dat thing but when i put the dvd in and start the dvd then it just loads and loads and it wont start . do u know whats the prob?

[The1965Ghost]

Yea Ive attempted it recently. Didnt work for me... :( Probably because I have the newest menu version. But homebrew and everything else works! Just no DVD playback :(

[poopplushado]

you put the disc in upside down

[360Spider]

No I didn't or it wouldn't have played...

[rayman6195]

@360Spider lol

[xxpeperoxx]

@LitterboxDiorama if you load them from external hard drive does it still hurt the drive?

[VideoGamer945]

it's not bs, it really does work

[jonathanb95]

U retard........ you trully are stupid.....

[pokerfaceladygaga1]

[abmod06]

The ONLY way to unlock your Wii to play copied and backup games, import games, DVD's, and homebrew WITHOUT a mod chip is to use:

nintendo-wii-homebrew-unlock-h­ack.blogspot(DOT)com

This Wii unlock and homebrew installer works on ALL Wii's, including 4.2, and you cna copy discs using any PC or Mac!! Does NOT need Zelda!

[Neo1Kronos]

@abmod06

Guys this guy has a blog, which talks about it, but it links to a scam site, which is no coincidence. You get do this for free on the website NEVER PAY FOR HOMEBREW

[SumSayYez]

its not a good idea to put the disc into the wii till your about to watch the movie otherwise the wii has trouble reading it while your on the system menu and it just slowly gradually breaksdown the wii dvd drive

[WiiGabriele97]

ma il cd non l'ha messo al contrario O.o

[dabum008]

can this easily break your wii?

[jman19mwi]

the wii is just LG dvd player. it wont hurt your wii more then a game that keep speeding

homebrew channel you play wii backup without mod chip

[VideoGamer945]

I was able to do it with

-an internet connection

-sd card

-twilight princess

no damage to my wii

[joshminton]

i put the dvd in mine, and when i hit play it stays on that same screen, no matter how long i let it sit. is there anything else i need aside from homebrew and mplayer? ( i have v4.2 on my wii btw)

[360Spider]

When I did this I was using firmware v3.2 if I remember correctly. I really can't help you on v4.2. Sorry about that.

[jukkula9]

@joshminton u need DVDX on ur wii t oplay DVDs. and 4.2 wii does not support DVDX

[logittec]

@joshminton sim necessita de uma espécie de codec para ler dvd, veja a pagina gamesfever procure no google. nessa pagina procure por mplayerce

[AntalisVonLeus]

The Simpsons Movie...

[akira1229marioDX]

God..

[masterpj55]

also the wii doesn't play any dvd then they just dont stop loading.

and the dvd menu's dont work

[keikoandgilly]

shows how much you know *rolls eyes*

[PhilipEWarren]

it look like it only plays in 1080x720 resolution

[AndrewPoulain2007]

you mean 1280x720 or 720P

[thegreatman99]

since i have version 4.1 I have to use the bannerbomb method...but can someone tell me, what does this whole procedure actually do to your wii to allow you to run homebrew? does it actually like hack/alter the wii in anyway or is it purely just running programs from the sd card. i just want to install the homebrew channel so i can watch dvds...don't want to do anything to the wii so i can't keep updating.

btw is this what people use to play backup/downloaded wii games? or is that different?

[Andydrumer12]

as far as i know, its just running it off of the SD card, because it has to be in for it to work, and to play the back up games is a mod chip, its like wiikey i think is what its called

[Smashbrosmojo]

How do i get Homebrew.... i heard that i need a certain game and a Wii SD Card

[silentboy12]

if you have updated past 3.4 (i think) then you cannot install it the normal way which is through the use of a hacked legend of zelda twilight princess save and an sd card.

If you have 4.0 or above then the only way to install it is through bannerbomb, go to hackmii(dot)com to find out how, all you need is an sd card

[Smashbrosmojo]

thx man

[soshowcanihelp]

you need to download it look on youtube or my favorites to download it

there is a program in the links just run it and download home brew

[Andydrumer12]

if you have wii menu 4.0 or higher you don't need to have the game. which is Zelda, twilight princess or whatever. with the newer wii menu all you do is just put the hack on the sd card, doesn't have to be the wii one, and upload it in the settings, easy easy.

[Buizeru421]

lol i have the same tv as you. thanks for the video anyway since i wanted to see if this was possible with homebrew

[davidbr211]

i have version 4.0u and the dvd player works great no problem at all

[SuperSaiyain4Man]

how do you download it on version 4.0u? if u tell me ill subscribe to ya :)

[coolio5798]

great song and movie choices my wi has the homebrew channel but i couldnt download mplayer i was told i needed the homebrew browser so ill try that tomorrow

[coolio5798]

the game!!!!!!!

[animejony2]

so u just download that and the channel will appear automatically on your wii?

[Sokker001]

that movie is sooo funny!!!

[VideoGamer945]

mine can do this but the aspect ratio is off

[IMDARKFIRE007]

lucky mo fo........im on 4.0 and get a 2011 dvd stub ticket error when i do the hack :(

[nick1111341]

me tooo =[

[aardvark4lunch]

i think you put the DVD in upside down... :P

[360Spider]

If it was upside down, how would it play?

[aardvark4lunch]

I do not know... Just thought it looked like it...

[DigitalxxxFr34k]

@360Spider lol i like how every one kept telling u that, u inserted the disc upside down, i sat there and studied it, you didnt lmao dam trolls huh haha, anyways, people who say he did, i think ur wii is broken, might wanna get it checked out, it is possible considering the fact with the homebrew channel u can also play roms from older systems so :P dam trolls!

[allav866]

@aardvark4lunch he did not. the blank side of the disc faces the power button

[antisony2008]

when i try to run mplayer it stops at 21%, any solution??? im in 3.2U

[atomg12]

is the quality of the dvd good?

[nerd2max]

Yeah, just like a regular DVD player.

[roxasnobody9]

yes and it wont brick your wii and you need zelda twilight princess for the twilight hack

[raziel6739]

my wii load instantally the dvd for what your wii not?

[BrainBlader]

does it plays subtitles? does it support surround sound? and does it has all the features a normal dvd player has?

[360Spider]

Subtitles, yes I believe so. At least I think the newest version of mplayer supports them. Surround sound? Probably not. The Wii only had left and right audio outputs anyways. All the features of a normal DVD player? It plays DVD's. That's all I have ever expected my DVD player to do.

[BrainBlader]

thanks thats what i needed to know

[guitarmagic95]

awesome choice for a movie!

[005nightrider]

ok, question: i wanna get this homebre thing to watch dvd's on my wii, but my finacee brought up a point, is the lens strong enough to with stand making it read dvds?

[360Spider]

Of course it is. It plays your games right? The Wii game discs are standard DVDs that are encoded in Nintendo's own proprietary format, which is the reason your standard computer disc drive can't read them. There is much more stress being put on the laser (and the drive itself for that matter) while playing a game rather than playing a DVD. You'll be fine.

[Blueflagproductions]

Man this looks so cool and so does everything on the homebrew channel. It's just two things

1.I dont want to brick my Wii

2.What if Nintendo realeses a software or firmware update that ends up messing up your wii because of the homebrew and or gecko usb

[360Spider]

1. Doubt it if you do it properly.

2. Well then just keep an eye out for it. If an update comes out do some research on it first before you update. Find out what what other people have experienced first. If you absolutely have to update and it does cause problems, just reformat your Wii before you update. Make sure to backup everything first though.

[Blueflagproductions]

Ok I think I might try that but how do you back everything up, because somethings will not let you save it to the sd card, as in not all games. Is there any other way you can back it up?

[JaminThorns]

1. You can't brick your wii with the Homebrew channel. There are some apps that can do that but they will warn you. Anyways those are things that the average person wouldn't use for their wii. Things like dvd-playing and cheat codes CANNOT brick your wii. It is literally impossible.

2. Nintendo has already showed that they won't do anything like that. What they WILL do is realease an update that deletes homebrew apps and the such, but it would never mess up anything alse.

[Blueflagproductions]

Ok thx

[linuxboygenius]

They are not allowed to touch anything on the SD card without notification, or on wii, excluding TWILIGHT HACK!!! }:-( P.S. System 4.0 License. Agreement clearly states that it will delete "modified" savefiles, including the twilight hack

[steelbath66]

There is already a way to update to 4.0 while maintaining all the exploits... look up waninkoko's upgrader

[jcalamil]

does it have idioms, subtitles settings?

[360Spider]

No it shouldn't matter. The Simpsons DVD that i was playing was a DL from 2008. If it can play that fine I shouldn't see any reason it can't play an older DVD but then again I'm not 100% sure. It is also possible it could be a compatibility issue on dvdlib's part despite it is an older DVD. Maybe you also want to check for scratches or something on your disc that could be causing the choppy playback.

[johnnyz88]

I've got this softmod too. But for some reason dvd playback is a bit choppy. i couldn't tell from ur video, but did this happen to you? perhaps it was the dvd i was playing (dual layer from 2003)? i'm not sure. any ideas?

[ahgiv]

kool so u have to download homebrewing channel

[jordansmith187]

viva la vida

[VideoGamer945]

is it good quality?

[youtaip]

the song is great

it goes with the wid

[itsadurg]

5 out of 5 just for the song lol

[RawkHawkRockin]

How did you make it play DVDs?You downloaded software from shop channel or you bought sth from a store?

[CJTheBig]

Home Brew Channel

[goloet]

nintendo sould make it a dvd player like mak the dvd channle that would be sick

[CrazedSquirrel]

I heard somewhere that playing DVD's puts a lot of stress on the wii's hardware. Have you had any drawbacks to this awesome program?

[360Spider]

I have not had any issues thus far with this however I don't mess around with it that often because I have another DVD player I use anyways. If you were to ask me, I wouldn't think it would put the system through any more stress than playing a regular game would. Playing a DVD is a constant stream of information while playing a game is making the laser jump all around the disk loading textures and whatnot. If you don't feel safe running it though, don't. That's the best I can tell you.

[aznrevlazn]

did the twilight hack and installed the homebrew channel. through homebrew i installed mplayer first then dvdx and BAM, I got the Ironman movie playing. Now i don't have to spend the extra amount for a standalone dvd player.

My only gripe is that it takes a bit of time to load the dvd, mine loaded after about 20-30 seconds.

[falcon300000]

yes it can play pirated movies i tried transformers and it worked!! thank you god!!!!

[Pi11owP4nts]

oh shit it can play burned movies? its worth it!

[albinoV]

getting a burned dvd movie to play is nothing special...

[360Spider]

52" Sharp Aquos. Expensive.

[legopants]

does this only work for R1 DVD'S?

[cjking13]

how did u do this?

[PsPCRaZy2008]

One day the wii may play full DVD's then video clips :-)

[MJC312]

That's cool, I would do it but, I like my DVD player lol!

[360Spider]

The quality is excellent for the first release of this program. I don't notice any drop in frame rate or quality at all. The only thing is that the current MPlayer release does not support menu's although it probably will soon. It's pretty incredible if you ask me. I mean, think how simple it would have been for Nintendo to release something like this and yet they didn't. Complete bull really.

[MyLegendarySelf]

I know, right?!

Nintendo was going to release a 2nd Wii with DVD playback back in fall 07--a Wii costing $50 for the feature.

Nintendo is BS

[bilalsheikh]

Nintendo has to pay licensing fees, though.

Remember The XBox DVD 'playback kit'? Yep, same licensing thing :(

Thanks for the video, though. I'm looking into all this Wii homebrew after getting rid of my XBox last week. So far it's the natural successor to the XBox for homebrew, so I'm looking forward to what they'll be able to do now, especially after the DVD libraries being released...

[monroe61]

How is the quality on this, is it like any other dvd player. I just want to know before I hack my wii I just need a copy of zelda tp.
