įreevo is an open-source home theatre PC platform based on Linux and a number of open-source audio/video tools - much like Microsoft Media Center PC - just without all the license fees and expensive hardware. This way Wii can be converted into a media center compatible with most any Video and Audio farmat you can trow at it. The solution to fix all Wii media related problems is to run Media-Center LINUX on Wii. Microsoft was able to patch the Xbox 360 to support 1080p and Nintendo has already released a firmware patch for Wii that alows gamers to transfer game saves to SD cards that was previously impossble. Gameinformer quotes Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime as saying that Nintendo decided not to ship with high-definition capability when it launched because it wanted to keep the cost down. NINTENDO does have plans to release a new version of the Wii next year that will ship with a DVD player and possible even HD DVD capabilities.

Initially Nintendo announced that Wi will play DVD movies with progressive scan just like any modern DVD player does nowadays, but as we found out just before the release they intentionally didn't include DVD playback in the Wii to save a couple of dollars on codec licensing fees! We find this ridiculous as now we have a computer that has 729MHz CPU (Central Processing Unit), 256MB main memory, 2 SD Memory Expansion slots, ATI Graphics Processing Unit DVD Optical Disc Drive + Support for resolution up to 480p and possibly unpgradable to 1080p and even support for 8.5GB dual layer DVD disc reading but NO DVD movie playback capability! For a device that has a REMOTE for a controller that is just plain out crazy not to include DVD playback so we will devote this page to FREE programs for playing DVD's and DIVX, XVID and other format video files on Wii console. Play DVD's MP3s and DivX movies on any Wii console.
