Has anyone had problems with peekvid.com where after 30 minutes or so the stream will stop and you will not be able to continue your movie?

Also certain movies do not seem to play at all, it will just say "loading" and never start to play. However when on a computer it plays fine.

yea i have had that problem on my wii but i have not tried on my pc yet.

I am thinking the hard drive in the Wii is not large enough to buffer an entire movie.

Byuakuya · 01-23-2007, 11:18 PM

i dont think it has a hard drive. i think they said it was flash memory, unless i am mistaken?

If that is the case then it most likely definitely does not have enough room to buffer a full length movie or an hour long tv show

yea that sounds about right.

I think if I buy a 2GB SD card I should be ok

Byuakuya · 01-23-2007, 11:41 PM

i dont think thats going to speed up your buffering time.

mvirus · 01-23-2007, 11:47 PM

not speed it up - speed is not the issue... it will give me enough space to buffer an entire movie. I think the reason that my streams die and do not let me continue after 1/2 hour is that there is not enough storage to buffer an entire movie or 1 hour long tv show.

oh sorry i get what you are saying. misunderstanding on my part

spicka · 01-23-2007, 11:58 PM

i too have had that problem, its really agrivating

mvirus · 01-24-2007, 12:07 AM

onsale.com has a 2GB SD memory card for $26. not bad.

s9am_me · 01-24-2007, 10:36 AM

how would you tell the Wii to store the buffer on the SD card and not the internal memory?

thats it! thats what i am aiming for when i made that speed up comment.

GaryT85 · 01-24-2007, 05:46 PM

its unlikely the wii will be able to buffer to a removeable memory...so i think you may have to get used to it, or stick to your pc for browsing vids

wiifreek · 01-24-2007, 05:53 PM

the space has nothing to do with it if people are having issues with it on their PCs. I have had the same issue on my work computer which has 200gigs of space, don't waste your money. Buy the movie or download a real copy :-)

Just wait for the final version. hopefully it'll help with the buffering. i just know that SD cards can't help anything with speed. i don't understand why people would think that.
