So the first thing i thought before buying this product was WOW i can finally watch a movie on my beloved Wii. And not only that but i can carry a movie around with me on my 1gb SD card, bring it to a friends house, slot it into his/her Wii and we can watch a movie! Great! WRONG!
All this application does is convert a movie/DVD into Motion JPEG format (which is basically a load of compressed still images). For instance i converted my Aliens VS Predator DVD to Wii format on my SD card and it produced 4 different files. I loaded the SD card into my Wii, went to the Photo channel (which is how you have to view the files), and selected the first file.
The movie began to play and already the trouble started. I experienced a lot of stuttering and delay much like you would see in a movie played from a very scratched up DVD. It would be smooth for 3 seconds then stop/start, smooth for another 3 seconds then stop/start and on and on and on....
Not only that but because the Wii format of the video is in fact still images and can only be viewed in the photo channel of the Wii means that you have no rewind, fast forward, etc. functionality that everybody needs. Also, you have to select the 2nd file when you are done with the first, and then the third, fourth and so on depending on the size of the movie you are playing.
Oh i have also forgot to mention that the video quality is very poor even though i chose the option in the application to convert the movie at the highest quality!
So forget about buying this product - it obviously hasn't been fully tested by X-OOM.
Take my advice, save your hard earned money and wait for the official Nintendo DVD drive or firmware updates to the Wii so you can have a real movie experience!
