Hi,
I bought my wii in late ’07, and I wasnt sure if my wii can read DVDs, and I wanted to know if it could.
If it is able, I still get the “INVALID DVD” error from WiiMc after installing ISO 202. Is there anything else I should do? thanks.

Read my earlier post about cleaning your DVD drive lens.

Just wanted to ask the developers, are you considering implementing this in future versions? I am no programmer myself, but it seems fairly easy, especially because there already is this function for audio files.

I think I know what the problem is. I started being suspicious when my original Super Smash Bros Brawl disc suddenly didn’t get recognized by Wii while others played OK. It is a double layer DVD and Wii has trouble reading those in case the DVD drive lens is dusty or somehow not clean. So I decided (as advised by many other people having this problem with SSBB) to go and buy DVD-ROM laser lens cleaning disc for about 8 € and voilá! SSBB works again and those original DVD films WiiMC had trouble reading and gave INVALID DVD message to now play OK, too! So, as it seems, you guys just need to clean your DVD drive lens and hopefully everything will work for you again. Good luck!

He said he bought his wii shortly after its release and that he has an older drive. However, I share the same problem with many of my DVDs. I know it’s not a hardware issue because both WiiMC and MPlayer CE can play SOME of my DVDs, but not others. It really makes me unhappy, as all of my original DVDs are my favourite movies and I can’t watch them on Wii. Any solution, anyone?
