dvdx app

installed dvdx. however, no app was listed on hbc loader and the wii says, "unable to read disc"

is there an app im missing? anything play movies AND have a convenient channel to choose from?

yeah you need MPlayer dvdlib edition

hrm. plays movies no problem, but if i wanted to put home video onto a disc i would just need to change the booktype to dvd-rom to make it compatible?

I don't know about that, I don't need DVDx so I have never tried it.

it would be nice to not have to switch between [wii & dvd player] units when watching videos or at least to have the option to do it from the wii..

hrm...

Do note the read speed of DVDx with movies sucks. I couldn't keep Animusic from being super choppy. Don't get me wrong, I love the DVDx library, just not the movie aspect and since I have many other players I am not at a loss on what to do ;)

only with a DVD+R... with DVD-R you don't have to...

i thought dvd-r weren't compatible at all?

no! I use them all the time...

If you want to play home movies, I would suggest just using a USB hard drive since it would probably be faster.

Either that or burning them as a Video DVD

My DVDs play at full speed! They are a little choppy sometimes, but never slow!
