New version of the Video Converter (http://www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/wiivideo9/) for the Wii:
1.94 Changelog:
Added: FLV Output Folders in Settings
Added: More generic Wii FLV profiles
Release Notes:
Some users noted that when playing videos in Wii Media Center X, the videos would playback very choppy and slowly. We investigated this issue and found that the Wii Opera Browser cannot play very high resolution, high bitrate video, probably due to lack of processing power.
So we removed the old profile and added two new ones for 4:3 and 16:9 videos at a lower resolution and bitrate. These videos seem to play back fine in Wii Media Center X. Thankfully the video scaling in the Wii browser is pretty good compared to video scaling in you see in your typical PC browser.
The best bitrate and resolution will always vary by video and the only real way to figure out what's best is by chaning the parameters through trial and error and viewing it on the Wii.
Upgrade Notes:
There is no upgrade installer, you must download the full installer and install it over your current version. This will overwrite any profiles or settings you may have so if you want to keep your old profiles or settings please backup the proper XML files before installing.
Wii Video 9 is a free video conversion application developed by Red Kawa. It allows you to convert your computer video files (like avi, divx, mpeg, etc.) into the specific video formats that are playable on the Wii.
