You don't have to be a smartass. He's asking the best way to play DVDs on his Wii. That's all he wants to know, not that he should just get a standalone DVD player. Heck I have a standalone DVD player and a Wii right next to it and I think its cool to be able to play DVDs on my Wii. The Wii was built to play DVDs in the first place but Nintendo pulled it at the last moment.geishroy said:Matt93 said:Shut up.geishroy said:use a standalone dvd player?
lol, no.
why the fuck would you use the wii's open source buggy software over a standalone dvd player or something built to run them?
it just doesn't make any sense. I'm not saying that the wii's software is bad, and it's great to see people trying to make the wii into something it isn't.
but come on, a good cheap dvd player today can even upconvert a standard dvd into something that looks decent.

Therefore you need to shut up. You aren't helping him.

stfu, why are you talking to me.
if the wii was supposed to play dvds, the wii would play dvds out of the box.
that's not rocket science.
provided modding allows it to do these functions, it does not change this fact.
@tj_cool again
it's not that I think a dvd player is better, it's that I know a dvd player is better.
any dvd player will beat the quality both in sound and video that the wii can output.
though again, i give it up for developers for trying to write good software for the wii.
and i'm not saying that mplayer sucks, because i have tinkered with all of the mplayers/geexbox/etc and they are well designed for what they are running on.
i could not recommend it as a really great solution to playing media if you have something else to do it on.
UranusKiller said:The fact of the matter is their are media players available to use on the wii, and some are very good, "AS WE EXPECT" they obviously aint going to over run other ways of playing media, but theyr'e in with a shout.
Their is simply no need to diss the use of them! you either use them or you don't....simple.
And as for someone asking for help, he/she should get a answer they expect not crap about the wiis crap dvd playback, HD or whatever, leave that out of the topic!
