Wii console does not play DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray discs, CD music discs, or movies/music stored on SD cards, USB hard drives, or other portable memory devices. There is no other solution but to use a ripper tool convert these unsupported video formats to Wii supported MOV or AVI.

If it's hacked you can play movie discs, if not just if the movie is in DivX, Avi, MPG or MOV format and you play them from a SD card.

Can not play movies
Do you mean you're attempting to watch a DVD or Blu-ray disc or a movie through software like Netflix or Hulu Plus? The Wii will only play Wii (and Gamecube if it is an older system) game discs.

How to troubleshoot the wii
  • The Wii console is only compatible with Wii and GameCube discs. It is not compatible with DVDs or discs made for other home consoles. Verify that the disc you are inserting is compatible with the Wii system.
  • An error message may display if the disc is ejected during play. Return to the HOME Menu before changing discs.
  • Verify that the console is placed correctly.
    • If the Wii console is lying flat, the game disc slot should be above all three buttons and the SD Card slot.
    • If the Wii console is standing vertically, the power button should be on the top and the console should be in the stand. Note: Only Wii consoles with model number RVL-001 are intended to be placed vertically.
  • Verify that the disc is being inserted properly.
    • If the console is placed horizontally, the disc label will face upwards.
    • If the console is placed vertically, the disc label will face to the right.
  • Check the non-printed side of the game disc for dirt or severe damage (such as scratches or cracks).
    • If the disc is dirty, try cleaning the game disc.
To clean disc:
  1. Dampen a clean, soft, cotton cloth with water.
  2. Use straight strokes and wipe the disc (non-labeled side) from the inside rim to the outside rim.
  3. Using a dry part of the cloth, repeat step 2 to dry the disc.
  4. After all of the water is gone, let the disc sit for at least two minutes to completely dry before inserting it into the Wii console.
If the disc is damaged or scratched, it will need to be replaced or you can possibly taken it to a game store or movie store to get it resurfaced (buffed)

Why won't my console play blu-ray movies
The Wii doesnt play Blue-Ray "BD" Movies, only the PS3 does, also the Wii doesn't play DVD's.
You can get the Wii to play DVD's by cracking the system by placing files on a SD Card, but your Wii will never play Blue-Ray movie because the system doesn't have the blue laser in the cd drive, sorry.

Have a nice day

I can't play a movie
What kind of console do you have?

And what kind of disc do you have?

If it's a PS3 it can play regular DVDs and BluRay discs.

If you have an XBOX 360 you should be able to play movies on DVDs or HD DVD.

If you have a Nintendo Wii then it can't play any kind of movie unless you unlock (mod) it. Use a guide to do that like this one.
