Play movies on your wii

[Deanis]

OK, Wii can only play videos off an SD card. Period. The only format it can play off these SD cards (as far as I know) is Quicktime. My new camera supports Qucktime, but hardly anything else does!!!

so if i put a movie/video on the sd card i can play it on the picture channel right ? but how do i put the movie onto the sd card ?

Use a multicard port on your computer, it'll show up as its own drive. just copy and paste it there.

Or if its straight from a digital camera, the Wii should just find the video on there.

oh, just buy a USB SD card reader. They cost like $2. You put it into your USB port, whack in an SD card, and it will show up as another hard-drive in 'My Computer'. Then jus copy and paste your Quicktime movie onto the SD card. Put the SD card into your Wii's SD slot, go into the photo Channel and it should recognise there is a movie on the card straightaway. If not, its probably the wrong format.
