The Nintendo Wii can play movies taken with most digital cameras without additional software. But if you have existing movies that were compressed in a format that the Wii does not understand, you can use Wii Transfer to convert those movies to play in the Wii’s Photo Channel.

In order to get your movies onto the Wii you will need an SD card writer for Wii Transfer to copy the movie files to. Once the movie has been converted and saved on the SD card, you insert the SD card into the Wii and use the Photo Channel to browse and play your movies.

This guy did his best to mod the Wii and make the case look very different from what’s the clean white that Nintendo intended. The result is pretty outstanding and it is only a matter of time before a handful of services start offering some serious modding services to the proud Wii owners. It is only natural, people customize everything so why not make the console unique?

Hackers have found their latest toy - the “Wiimote.” The wireless, motion-sensing controller has made Nintendo’s new Wii game console this holiday’s gotta-have-it gadget. Wii’s games let the player swing the controller like a tennis racket or fling it like a fishing pole.

But some of the more interesting uses of the controller aren’t part of Nintendo’s official game library. Within weeks of Wii’s November launch, videos were making the rounds on YouTube showing the controller used to move a PC’s mouse cursor, play Half-Life 2 and even control a music synthesizer and drum machine.
