i got it working perfectly now, i even figured out the "MAGIC BUTTONS" which let you pause, rewind, and fast forward!!
the converter wasn't hard to find, i just went to a torrent site and typed in super video splitter. Downloaded, installed, and cracked it... Then just load up the video, make sure the settings are avi with Audio and Video compression enabled and use the divx 6.6.1 codec with mpeg 3 audio. Cutting the video is simple, just make sure the clips aren't longer than say 20-25 mins (1500 seconds). Once that is done (it takes while) you can load up your Wii Video 9 program and convert them into Mjpeg's that work on the wii. Make sure their labeled so the wii will play them in order and your done
all thats left now is to put it in your wii and play a movie
WARNING!! The quality to size ratio is huge... i took a feature length fullscreen movie and put it through this process... it was when i was still playing around with settings and what not... but the quality wasn't very good, and the size was a gig... now, making the file a 2 gig file made it almost dvd quality but maxed out the SD card...
NOW, I'm gonna tell you the controls for getting your playback to work well. First off, make sure there isn't pictures on the card as that might cause confusion (shouldn't be a problem, but its easier with a clean card) Now, when you want to watch your video and not have to manually load the next one.. just use sideshow, the playback controls still work fine
So the actual button controlls:
Pause: this is done by hitting the "post" tab
Fast forward: done by hitting the 2 button
Rewind: done by hitting the 1 button
Now, if you have any questions... crawl through the internet for days and days like me... or just ask... but crawling is much more satisfying
