Sorry, but honestly.
I don't want to try :P.
With my luck.
The dvd will come out melted.
And the wii will break.
Then Chuck Norris and Jet Li will come in.
And start fighting eachother.
And knock the wii over.
And smash it into a million pieces.

Most people these days already have a DVD player, so there's no need to have another device that also play DVD with no extra benefit. It would be different if the Wii could provide upscaled DVDs, but unfortunately that's not the case. I know that having the Wii also play DVDs could be one less thing in the entertainment center, but I've never found playing DVDs on game consoles to ever be that user-friendly, imo.

If you're not afraid of a bit of homebrew, you can play DVD's on the Wii now.

No.
The Wii is not a DVD player. It was never marketed as a DVD player.

If you need to play DVDs and money is tight, pick up one of these. It's half the price of a Wii game and you'll get a proper remote to go with it:

Meanwhile, there are dozens of very long threads where this is discussed and debated in graphic detail. You might want to try doing a search before starting new threads on frequently-asked questions.
