The Wii is capable of running DL discs, it can easily play a DVD movie, the Wii isnt equipped with a crappy drive...
Actually playing DVD movies on the Wii will wear out the drive much faster than usual, so the drive isn't that great...

Getting information out of your ass doesn't count towards real proof.

I remember reading that in the original post about the DVD player, which was made by the app authors.

I could be remembering incorrectly though.

Playing DL Discs in ANY drive causes it to wear out more. Everything wears out eventually.

Also this famous USB external drive support code will be perfect add on for this project!
Because Wii's drive will die soon enough if we let it read a bunch of media disks.

Can I play DVD with this?

nope, the wii isn't capable of playing a dvd movie.

Yes.

Video Support:
MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4, DIVX, XVID, MOV, WMV, VOB and more.

By "dvd" i'm sure alot of people, like me, thought "dvd movie disc"
Doesn't change the fact that this piece of software can playback VOB's. If it can mount the DVD-drive, it is capable of playing a "DVD movie disc" (regardless of what that does to your laser... ;))
Only two catches: CSS and SD-only. He stated that it would only read from the SD card at first. Also, nowhere did he mention DeCSS, libdvdcss, or anything similar. We can only hope... Also WiFi streaming would be nice for internet radio and the likes.
