DVD Enabled Wii Applications August 12
As part of today’s Wii DVD Library release, dhewg has released a DVD enabled version of mPlayer. It supports DVD video, along with experimental SD reading support. An update for Wii64 is also planned, which will allow it to access Nintendo 64 files directly from the Wii DVD drive. All future Wii DVD applications will require the DVD Library to be installed first.
From the release notes:
Once you’ve done that, you can enjoy the splendor of mplayer. That what started out as a simple proof of concept has rapidly turned into a full-featured media player, under the nourishing hands of dhewg. The main aim of the mplayer project was to get DVDVideo going, but it also supports reading video files off the SD card. (Experimental).
A patch for Wii64, the N64 emulator for the Wii, will also be available shortly. This patch will allow you to read games off a DVD.
