For those of you who may have been confused or curious about what formats the Wii supports, here is the info straight from the manual:
Image Files: JPEG, baseline only; Size: Up to 848 x 480
Video Files: QuickTime (motion JPEG) (.mov files)
Audio Files: MP3
It says as a note that some of the formats mentioned above "may not work with the Photo Channel." Also, that the "audio components of some video files may not be playable." And finally, that using an "SD Card with slow transfer speed may result in longer load times or irregular video playback."
In case you weren't aware as well, the Wii accepts only SD Cards.

Finally a clear up of what memory cards to buy. I never really knew exactly what card to buy but now I can get me one of those looks like the wii is going to cost me about £270 in total Wii + Game + S-Video Cable + SD Card
Best of all, Nintendo can always release updates to support more filetypes.
The 12 cm Wii Optical discs look and sound an awful lot like DVDs, but no one knows exactly what they are. What I'm trying to say is, is it possible to mod the Wii and get it to support other formats/DVDs in its current form?
Personally, I hate how every time I get digital photos from somebody these days, I have to resize it down to 16% of its original area just to see it all on my (1400 x 1050) laptop screen.
Apparently rom the real Wii manual:
"The photo channel supports JPGs of up to 8192x8192 resolution and QuickTime files of up to 848x480. (pg. 22)"
No camera takes pics as small as Summa reported the Wii's max is, which would mean he couldn't even demo it without first converting all his photos to smaller format on a computer. Some pretty bad oversight.
