Many Nintendo Wii owners often griped about the lack of DVD playback well it seems that X-OOM has found an answer. It still sounds a bit hokey and this editor will continue to use his regular DVD player or his PS3 to watch movies. You still have to deal with SD memory since there is no HDD, which means you are limited to the size of files you can watch on the Wii.

X-OOM’s latest software, supporting the MJPEG codec, allows for perfect quality playback. Simply run the DVD on a PC and save the file using ‘Movies on Wii’ to the appropriate format; once this is complete, transfer the file to the Wii using an SD memory card.

With a number of editing options including an ‘Expert Mode’, you can also cut and back up individual scenes and whole movies as you wish. With help from X-OOM’s Fit-To-Stick technology, movies can be automatically loaded onto the memory card in a short, simple process using only the space that is available.

X-OOM Movies on Wii offers extensive support of video formats including DivX®, XviD, MPEG2, MPEG4, WMV etc.
