Gaming movies on wii

[lexus-8]

in the wii manual it says that the wii can play movies in the photo channel and that it supports AVI and quicktime video files.

but when i put a movie on my sd card that is AVI it says that file is not supported.

what am i doing wrong ?

[lexus-8]

[fischju_original]

[lexus-8]

how do i get the video off the program and on to my sd card?

Don't you just buy a card reader or something and transfer it over?

 

[lexus-8]

i have one off those
but what im trying to say is there is now option to get the converted file off the program

The conversion program should have a "save to" option (or "destination", or "target" or something similar); it's where the converted file is saved. Find that option, and choose your memory card as the target folder.

Or, find the converted file on your disk, and copy/paste it to your SD card.

Yeah, you will find it under SETTINGS, then DEVICES and then sellect the Wii tab.

*edit* here is a picture

The real downer here is that only 15minute videos are supported by the Wii. (based on my google research)

Solution:

1) Buy a divx dvd player
2) ???
3) Profit

 

[directive0]

actually, though counter intuitive, buying a divx dvd player in addition to the wii I have already bought would probably reduce profits. Unlike the highly lucrative underpant gnome market, which experiences ample growth in the first quarter of every year.

 

[lexus-8]

ok
thanks alot you guys and fischju i will try this now!

 

[lexus-8]

has anybody got this to work ?

 

[Devil_Spawn]

yeah, works great, make sure yor using the avi profile etc

 

[chalupa]

i recamend using my-orb, it streams files to the wii and plays them from the opera-browser

My orb

actually getting a DivX player is not very expensive, got mine for $40USD. And then got the converter with the MPEG2 plugin for $60. So it cost me $100.
if you get two games, it costs about the same.
