Well, the reason for the large file sizes... Red Kawa's encoder only does WAV audio, no compression, and is doing 2Mb/s video. Compare that in contrast to your average BT'd TV show or movie. They're usually done in Mpeg4 at 1Mb/s with AAC or MP3 audio. Motion JPEG is one of the higher video compressors out there, ranking slightly below MiniDV in this instance (MJPEG can be cranked up as high as 10-15 Mb/s)

Wii Video 9 is broken, IMO. I tried it out and it didn't like what I gave it in several different tests. I don't know if it's the .NET crap that bundles with it, or if it's Videora still being broken as it was for the PSP and iPod, but it's crashed on me everytime I've tried to encode with it.

I hope given enough time, someone can develop some rudimentary tools/plugins to get MJPEG support on VirtualDub or ffMpegX. Until then, the Wii is in the realm of pictures only in my system.

I might have to try this again. I converted several vids, and none of them would play.

"Madness? This IS SPARTA!"

Can't wait.

saying that the wii can now play divx is a little misleading. I haven't used wii video 9, but i use psp video 9 and it works great!

This doesn't matter. Because its still horribly inconvenient to play the movies with the Wii. I have to put them on my SD card, then put it in my Wii. Why not a USB device? why not over the network? That is what they need to do, but doing something that the consumer would actually use is way too much to ask of Nintendo. I am just waiting for some majoy Linux on my Wii to get all the features that i want to use it for on top of gaming. Nintendo is going to have to start jerking off because the fanboys will slowly go away and there will be no blowjobs left.

been using myself but i prefer to use pics and mp3s for a nice music photoshow as bg noise..

my video was good but only when the source was good. now if we can get the sizes down, then i'll look at putting my music vids on a sd or if usb hds are ever allowed (future?), watch out!
