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.

For that matter, two methods are now available for people to use. Homebrew owns the credit for such accomplishment. Through Homebrew function, the said console is now improvised and has kept its edge from the other gaming consoles now that it has DVD playback capability already. Its hardware, accessories and software are being used for such purpose; hence, Wii Homebrew.

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.

The two methods mentioned above are first, through accessing the Wii Homebrew Channel. The second is by employing a DVD to Wii Converter or by using the DVD to play DVDs on Wii. We only have these two available methods as of this time but the future has more to bring for Wii-users. As of this time, wii-lovers are simply having fun, enjoying the entertainment that the console offers.

Going deeper on each method, the first method will ask you to install a small, hidden channel on a system which results to having a DVD access library or libdi file that allows you to view videos with the use of MPlayer or the open source media player. The first thing to do here is to download a homebrew video player, copy them to the SD card, and use the Homebrew Channel to apply a two-second patch. After the installation, you can then use the Mplayer app from the Homebrew Channel, put a DVD in the drive, and harvest the fruit of your labors while watching your favorite videos. One thing to take note, however, is that your wii will be at risk once you’ll commit something wrong.

The second method is easier and safer. What you need in this method is a DVD to Wii Converter and an SD card. The process is surely easy. You have to convert DVD to Wii supported format first, and then copy the converted DVD to your SD card. After such process, play the converted DVD on the Wii with the SD card plugged in to the wii and bingo, you’ll have a lot of fun. The two methods are both great; it’s up to you which one you like better.
