I want music on my Photo Channel...

[Acdude]

Yeah, I want music.
Problem is...I don't know how.
I have Itunes.
I do have an SD card, it's a Mini SD card, 2g.
I can put it on to my computer if I need to, and inside my wii.

I also want to know how to get my Cell phone videos on my Wii, becuase this Memory card is mostly for my Cell Phone.
Can anyone help me?

If I remember right there is no support for video on the Wii from a SD card. You can get a streaming media program for your PC and use the internet channel to get video.

For music,

Viewing Photos in a Slide Show (and playing music files)

In "Side Show" mode, the photos will automatically be displayed in the order they appear on the screen. Press the A Button during a slide show to open an on-screen menu.

To listen to music files, click on "Change" to change the music played during the slide show. Select from the songs included in the Photo Channel, or use any compatible format of music saved on your SD Card. (The Wii console is compatible with MP3 or AAC files, depending on which version of the Photo Channel you have. For more information, please click here.)

While viewing a photo in full screen mode, use the Wii Remote to move the cursor over the "Slide Show" button along the bottom of the screen to activate the slide show. The following options will appear.



and here is the link to the update info for version 1.1 of the photo channel.

Hope that gives you a start!

Nothing much else to add to sniper_wolf's post, he's got it all covered.

For video, it only supports the MJPEG codec which most, if not all, digital cameras use, can't say the same for phones though.

They need to be in .avi or .mov containers otherwise the Photo Channel won't pic them up. When it does, they'll show up just as a picture would and should play automatically. (use 1 and 2 to fast forward and rewind)

You could use a program called Super© to convert pretty much anything to anything else though so you shouldn't have problems with it working on the Wii after using that.

what are these "Containers"?

if you can help me then i can start watching my anime on the wii :/

[hillgroover]

Containers are simplyfiles that hold more than one track usually just audio and video but can also include subtitles and other things.

The video is encoded using one of thousands of different codecs (for the Wii this must be the MJPEG codec) and an audio track can be encoded with one of the various audio codecs such as Fraunhofer's mp3 or to reduce size and keep quality something like Ogg Vorbis is greatly used too.

AVI is an abbreviation for "audio video interleave" and is just that, and intertwining of an audio file and video file to make one seperate file. You'll probably have come across video files that the audio seems to be out of sync from the video, this would be a container based file rather than a non container based video. MOV is the exact same type of file it's just short for "movie".

Hope that clears that up.

EDIT

There's no point in trying to convert anything to MJPEG to watch on the Wii, it takes too long to convert and the files are horrendously oversized but I leave it up to you.

It'd be a far better move to just watch them on a DVD/DivX player or your computer, or a homebrew player if you really have to play them on the Wii.

i heard the upgrade for the photo channel (if you have it) won't support music files.i hope this helps

[pdark]

It supports music files just not mp3 format. I believe that you can downgrade the photochannel back to your old version that does support mp3 music files.
