Wii Homebrew DVD Online Downloading

By James Kelly

Wii is one of the most popular gaming consoles now aside from Microsoft Xbox and Sony PS-3. It has been known that Wii has an edge over the others when it comes to its functionalities and use except for one thing-it was then DVD-lame. However, for the benefits and pleasure of its fans, methods on How to Play DVD on Wii has been done professionally.

There are two methods to simply and safely play DVD on Wii. If you are curious as to who is behind such methods, well, that is thanks for Homebrew. They provide the answer on How to Play DVD on Wii. What does that mean? This time, the said console is more fully developed for DVD playback and that's through the Homebrew function.

In contrast with the past, Homebrew installer software packages now has standard feature for such function already. It can also be done through hardware change in which softmod has been used since that is easier and better. When you talk about softmod, you will then be dealing with two approaches in playing DVD on Wii although others might not anymore be interested in terms of its technical processes.

The two methods mentioned above are first, through accessing the Wii Homebrew Channel. The second is by employing a DVD to Wii Converter or by using the DVD to play DVDs on Wii. We only have these two available methods as of this time but the future has more to bring for Wii-users. As of this time, wii-lovers are simply having fun, enjoying the entertainment that the console offers.

Let us further talk about those methods. In method one, Wii coders gave the console what it lacked before-a DVD playback, by installing a small, hidden channel on a system which blesses the console with a libdi file or DVD access library and allows you to view videos with the MPlayer application or the open source media player. In this method, you have to download a homebrew video player, copy them to an SD card, and use the Homebrew Channel to apply a two-second patch. Once installed, you can then pop into the Mplayer app from the Homebrew Channel, put a video DVD in the drive, and your favorite video will be right infront of you in no time. However, one has to take note that there's a corresponding risk on the Wii if you do something wrong.

The second method is easier and safer. What you need in this method is a DVD to Wii Converter and an SD card. The process is surely easy. You have to convert DVD to Wii supported format first, and then copy the converted DVD to your SD card. After such process, play the converted DVD on the Wii with the SD card plugged in to the wii and bingo, you'll have a lot of fun. The two methods are both great; it's up to you which one you like better.
