      Okley dokley there's a new fix out if your running 3.4 to get DVD's running on your Wii (dunno if it works not tried it), but I'll assume you're on 3.2E , you need to have the homebrew channel installed m8, Mplayer installed to run DVD's,
      http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Mplayer, and DVDX and the patch (if you're using a modchip) to run DVD's m8,
      DVDX - WiiBrew

        Thanks,

        Just been reading around on google, and found that the Mplayer is needed. Cheers for providing the link.

        Yep, running 3.2E with the homebew channel.

        So do i just copy to SD card then open up in homebrew channel and then follow the instructions?

        cheers

        I'll give it a go now
