are you kidding, erant made a FULL explanation post on hackMii
ErantUsage of this package is fairly simple. Run the installer.dol found in the package, follow the onscreen instructions, and you’re done.

Once you’ve done that, you can enjoy the splendor of mplayer. That what started out as a simple proof of concept has rapidly turned into a full-featured media player, under the nourishing hands of dhewg. The main aim of the mplayer project was to get DVDVideo going, but it also supports reading video files off the SD card. (Experimental).

A patch for Wii64, the N64 emulator for the Wii, will also be available shortly. This patch will allow you to read games off a DVD.

If you have a modchip, you also need patchmii, in addition to the DVDX stub installer.

assuming you are not stupid and know how to run dols from the HBC, there is nothing more you need to know

I think this might help some people DVD Hax Pack and FAQ

Beyond the fact that this is very easy to install, I've written my own tutorial.

 

[samsam12]

i cant select a chapter! when i select chapter, nothing happens. when i tap the a button fast, it just gives me a code dump! i tried on 2 dvds.

 

[tenentenen]

will this work using the twilight hackor only the homebrew channel?

 

[samsam12]

it should work with both.

 

[LightyKD]

I have only one major gripe about this. I was hoping to be able to play my .Avi fo\iles off my dvd data disc. Hopefully someone wil add this feature into Mplayer soon.

 

[tenentenen]

Well There is No Menu When I boot up Mplayer. Just the Logo

*i'm using twilight hack*

 

[Arm the Homeless]

Use the Homebrew Channel.

Not Twilight Hack.
The files have to be in /media/disk/apps/mplayer
In Windows it's SD:/apps/mplayer

Yes it's ridiculous people are saying that playing a "DVD-Video" will wear out the laser but not a "Wii Game Disc" because the laser is constantly reading the data off a DVD-Video. Yeah, I'm sure games like MP3, SSBB, MKWii loads everything into memory including stream VIDEOS and AUDIOS/MUSIC.

Anyway, this is great. I wish the next "fix/feature" is a functional DVD menus and browsing using the wiimote to point-and-click. Not all manufacture/pressed DVD mastered the main movie on title 1 *coughsonycoughdisneycough*.

My understanding was that the Wii Drive was calibrated for reading Wii Games and that the Wii drive is not contantly running as it reads the necessary parts of the game into memory. In anycase only time will tell if this actually harms the Wii drive in the long run. By the way, that's a nasty 'cough' you 've got there, you should get it looked at

This ability to play DVDs from Wii is great in terms of development on the Wii, not really useful if you already have dedicated DVD player which also play Divx/Xvid files. What I would really like to see the development of using the Wii as a media streamer from the PC, that would be awsome.

Yeah, I just caught it on AOTS too.

First thing I thought of when I saw it was GBATemp.

Once and for all, the Wii's drive is no different mechanically than a drive you'd find in your computer, DVD player, or any other console.

All DVD drives operate the same way on a low level scale. In fact, the key components of all brands of DVD drives are manufactured in the SAME facility.

To say one disc will wear it out before another would be like saying one pair of tires will wear out an engine faster than another.
