    If you install the homebrew channel and get the Mplayer app, or install a modchip then yes, but out of the box, no.

    it is possible, however unlikely, that nintendo could release a app via the shop channel for 2000 or 3000 points which would allow people to watch dvd's legally without fear of blocking their wiis

    perhaps the wii2 will have a DVD player, and more details for the miis!

    yes i am still on about that.
