Ok, so for the first time in a long time, I wanted to watch an official DVD movie on my Wii via WiiMC. And before you ask, yes I have a Wii that can play DVDs, I had done so plenty of times in the past. Now however, no matter the DVD I get the error: unsupported DVD and then ultimately: DVD playback is not supported on this Wii. What's the deal? Is there an ios I must reinstall? Or perhaps an ios needed to do something else interferes with DVD playback? or maybe the laser is coming to its death? I literally don't use the disc drive for anything else, all Wii and GC games boot up through my hard drive. Anyway if anyone has any insight, that would be greatly appreciated.

 

best to but a $30 dvd player

 

I had this problem. I fixed it by using a older version of the hackmii installer to reinstall DVDX.

 

Had this same problem. With no software solution, I opened the wii and ever-so-gently brush the dust off the eye with a Q-tip. it works well (for Brawl too), but not long here in dust-coated New Mexico.

 

I was once told the official disk cleaner effed up the lense by a gamestop worker. But i take anything they say with a few grains of salt.

 

Gamestop workers cant tell an from
Back on topic, consider that the problem may be a dirty lense. Use the clener kit or open it and clean it yourself to see if it works.
