How do you access the video mode in order to watch a movie on a dvd play or play a video game?

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.

Look for any loose contacts in RC jacks/sockets/Cable. Try changing the input device to something you are sure, works such as a DVD player.

There should be a DVD Repeat modes or "Repeat/Repeat Modes" button on your remote. Press that until it's back to "ALL" and it should play things properly again for you.

You should be able to put the DVD in the tray and should automatically recognize it and go into the movie.
What type of media are you trying to watch. PS2's cannot play blu-ray movies.

this is a common problem faced in xbox360..you have to use original DVD else the low quality DVD leads to damage your xbox360 lens...for further reference click here for repair guide....

Insert the DVD into the Xbox DVD tray then close the tray.

There's really nothing special you need to do.

Ok so its 60GB its definatly alright to play movies and all sorts, but if you are that desperate to watch movies then you may want to reset to factory settings just access settings and look for reset console, then it would start from square 1 you have to make your accounts and earn your trophies again but if you want to watch movies desperatly then recommed you do that or go to game settings in the game column and have a poke in the folders because there might be a few things in there or go to the film column and check for setting sin there or go to the settings column and check for film settings in there its nothing to do with the updates thats for sure because ive done the same as you but havent played the game in a while but im still able to watch films

I needed to get the CD with the remote control in order to play songs and movies. There is a CD you buy that you can download onto your PS2 slim and afer you do this, you should be able to play movies, music, etc.....

Do a google search for "emerson remotes" (in quotes) and take your pick. I have ordered them by model number from Fox International at 800-321-6993.

sound like the wire to the parking brake may not be getting a ground.if it not get a ground it will no show a picture on the screen. it so you cant watch the dvd while driving.
