Video/Media Centre

Is it possible. I tried to convert an AVI File to the WII Format but it blew the 300mb file to 1.2gb I could have sworn the WII Manual said it played AVI Files. not WII FORMAT .FUNKYCHICKEN/AVI

Anyone else have a rememdy if not i might jus tbuy an old xbox and wack that as a media centre aye (like 70 bucks)

winamp remote does some cools things if you have the wii internet browser.

WII Internet browser is that like just the wii connected to wireless router?

Coz i can do that easy.

I would never bother with a home theatre pc tbh - I have a friend who made a xbox into a media centre i've watched it and it's great (video quality) just not sure on Sound... mmm new thread in support section i say.

You need to buy the internet channel :/ But yeah you can play mp3z off your comp through your wii with internet channel + winamp remote. Not sure what other options there are, you might be able to stream flash video with flv...

Wii was yet again designed just as a gaming console, as opposed to its two competitors so you're unfortunately sort of smashing against a brick wall.

But it does the gaming console part very, very well.

And its cheaper.
