I don't know which other loaders support arguments but WiiFlow has a setting in the INI for the plugin to tell it what arguments to use to load something with the plugin (like mplayerce) so you could always change that line to be the arguments to rip the disk and then just run one of the videos you have through WiiFlow once and it should rip the disk instead of running the selected video. You can then change that setting back when you're done.

The reason USB loaders support the ability to rip Wii backups is because typical DVD drives lack the capacity to rip retail Wii discs. However, with the right software, you shouldn't have a problem ripping DVD movies using your computer. DVD playback alone isn't very stable on the Wii, let alone DVD ripping. While it lacks the ability for DVD ripping, I recommend you use WiiMC on your Wii for DVD and video file playback.

On a slightly related note, I recommend ripping DVDs using your computer so that you're able to convert them to something like Xvid; otherwise, your DVD rips will take up an obscene amount of room on your hard drive.

@ Maxternal ill give that a try thanks

@ Lacius i dont have a problem using my computer for Dvd ripping i just thought it would be good to put Dvd in Wii and do a direct rip. I also prefer Wiimc hoping fix94 implaments it into plugins in wiiflow .

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
