We all know a standard Wii takes 12cm Wii Optical Discs and 8cm Nintendo GameCube Game Discs but doesn’t play DVDs due to restrictions. Hard-core gamers are already unlocking / jailbreaking wii consoles to remove all these restrictions.
Anyone can unlock a Wii console for DVD playback.
This is a very popular method if you want Wii dvd playback functionality. Unlock wii and install the homebrew channel, then you can virtually do anything with it:- watch DVD/DivX movies, play games from an external hard drive, play games copied to a DVD, have different themes, download thousands of free apps, games cheats etc, play imported games, play backups, make backups, emulators for N64, SNES, Game Boy Advance, Sega Genisis and many more console games.

The only reason Wii Unlock Plus wasn’t the editors choice is because it only works with 4.2 onwards, I haven’t tried it with an older version yet but the product site states that it’s only compatible with 4.2+.
