Have all the star wars in avi format have tries converting with the wii video 9 but to no avail.
Vids will play no problem on laptop with either videolan or wins player

it's looks quite complicated to do Jim. You need a movie in a special type of format that the Wii will support. You have to do this by converting a dvd or downloaded film into said format using a so-called 'wii movie converter' (you have to download this from the web). You then have to put the converted file onto an SD card and put it in the wii's photo slot.

well you could try linking up the laptop to the tv. play the movie while you stay on the web and let him watch star wars on the telly.

why the heck would anyone in their right mind want to watch star wars anyway?

Yerrah! the 90's were mighty for the game......Wexford and Clare reach the summit, Cavan revisit the glory days, Donegal and Derry grasp the Holy Grail, not to forget Down's double and lowly Leitrim bridge a 67 year hunger!!!!

Clare did it in football as well in 92 only to be "cheated" by a dodgy goal

Hardly ever was there a truer word upon t'internet.......De Duds again...€€€talks and you know the rest....A genuine oul' team, Tom Morrisey, Clancy, Daly et al.....Would have horsed Donegal in Croker......Cue howls from Tír Chonaill...

Howl. Ther was nothing or no one stopping the men from Tír Conaill that year. Read Sam's for the Hill for a glimpse into a team that wasn't going to be denied.

Jim convert the avi file to dvd format and burn it onto dvd problem sorted

Clare would'a bate yis'....In his era/time Tom Morrissey would have cleaned out Molloy and the rest of yis' around m/f..
While the "Féar Beag" was a superb leader/dictator/orchestrator (up with Joyce P), deprived of flowing ball he was compromised...Saying all that...Donegal's man on the day should have been Joyce McMullan....

could you not convert it dvd and then copy it to a memory card and whack it into the Wii - interestingly enough Jim a guy gave me instructions the other day for hacking the wii so you can play copied games on it - if your interested let me know - while i use the word hacking i dont think this is actually illegal
