That usb loader is a great tool, and I would like to use it for DVD movies, with a 500 gig I can easy put all my dvd movies on one hard-disk. So is this possible?

I believe that mplayer has USB support and can play your ripped DVDs in some kind of format.

Not necessarily, this is not to run backups or any illegal (Nintendo) material, so this may be a grey area.
However the USB loader does not load movies, (that i know of) only games, so your request to load movies cannot be fulfilled (with USB loader), you might try mplayer or DMP.

USB Loader is only for loading "backups" (i.e. pirated games). Something such as MPlayer CE can play videos off USB, but I don't think it can play ripped DVD images (.iso files). You'd have to rip the DVDs and convert the videos to a usable format

I read the rules running back-ups is not supported, but I just want to make my wii into a multi-media station. Media center also gives you the ability to copy music and movies, so you don't have to search for your dvd's.

MPlayerCE has USB support. Use that. "USB Loader" will not work.

Most DVD Rips are in .avi format not .iso.

Well, depends on what you mean by rip. Strictly speaking, a DVD image is a .iso. However, you can rip the actual video files from the DVD, usually in .vob format actually I believe. It can then be converted, or with certain software, these two steps are combined, so it is ripped directly to .avi files. However, the video is in .vob format on the DVD. If you were to download a DVD rip from the internet, (which is illegal for commercial DVDs and I am against it), I believe it would be in .iso format for you to burn to a disc.
