Wii is one of the most popular gaming consoles now aside from Microsoft Xbox and Sony PS-3. It has been known that Wii has an edge over the others when it comes to its functionalities and use except for one thing-it was then DVD-lame. However, for the benefits and pleasure of its fans, methods on How To Play DVD On Wii has been done professionally.

Speaking of Wii DVD, there are two methods that were introduced to its users. You might ask to whom the applause should be, well, that is for Homebrew. They were the once who made such thing possible for Wii users. Now, better than ever, Wii is already capable for DVD playback through Homebrew function.

In contrast with the past, Homebrew installer software packages now has standard feature for such function already. It can also be done through hardware change in which softmod has been used since that is easier and better. When you talk about softmod, you will then be dealing with two approaches in playing DVD on Wii although others might not anymore be interested in terms of its technical processes.

Let us now talk about the said two methods. The first of which is by accessing the Wii Homebrew Channel and the other method is by employing a DVD to Wii Converter or using the DVD to play DVDs on Wii. Although this time these are the only two ways that were made known to the people, a lot more will come in the future since Wii Homebrew DVD will not be left behind.

Let us further talk about those methods. In method one, Wii coders gave the console what it lacked before-a DVD playback, by installing a small, hidden channel on a system which blesses the console with a libdi file or DVD access library and allows you to view videos with the MPlayer application or the open source media player. In this method, you have to download a homebrew video player, copy them to an SD card, and use the Homebrew Channel to apply a two-second patch. Once installed, you can then pop into the Mplayer app from the Homebrew Channel, put a video DVD in the drive, and your favorite video will be right infront of you in no time. However, one has to take note that there's a corresponding risk on the Wii if you do something wrong.

The second method requires a DVD to Wii Converter to play converted DVD on Wii. This method is said to be easier and safer than the first one because all you need here is the DVD to Wii converter and an SD card. The process is also simple. You just have to convert DVD to Wii supported format, and then copy that converted DVD to your SD card. If that’s done, play the converted DVD on the Wii with the SD card inserted on the wii and the fun is right next to you then. Having those two methods is indeed wonderful; it’s now your choice which one is better.
