DVD (use the RIP VIDEO tab). Since the video-encoding options for creating a Wii video from a file or DVD are the same, we will use the VIDEO tab as an example in this section.

‘Quality’ buttons in the centre of the screen. 3. To encode the video and transfer it directly to the Wii Memory Card, click the CONVERT & COPY button. If you would like to encode the video but not transfer it immediately to the card, click the CONVERT button (this creates a copy in the same folder as the source movie and lists the new outputted file in your PC Media Library).

When in Expert Mode, you see a new set of sub-tabs appear in the middle of the screen with additional encoding settings available. The options of each of these tabs are discussed below.

Introduction and Overview Use the Media Manager to copy MP3s or AACs from your computer to your Wii by clicking on the AUDIO tab. If you would like to create MP3s or ACCs for playback on your Wii directly from an audio CD, use the RIP CD tab (see page ‘18’).

Chapter 8: Media Manager Working with Images Introduction and Overview Your Wii is ideal for showing off your digital pictures in the comfort of your living room, so why not use the Media Manager to copy them from your PC to your Wii Memory Card? The Wii requires your images to be in JPG format (native format for most digital cameras).
See page ‘26’. Some gamesaves are tied to your console, and cannot be used on any other Wii. You can get around this by downloading a save from the CodeJunkies server which has had this restriction removed, and use it when playing the game. You can then upload this save once more, when you’ve explored the game further and opened more of its features.
PC database, tick PC. You can download to either or both locations, but you must specify at least one target location. Powersaves Part 4: Downloading and Using a Powersave When using the Media Manager, ensure you have an active Internet connection on your PC and that your Wii’s Memory Card is connected to your PC.
To upload a gamesave you have created, you first need the gamesave to be in your PC Database. To do this follow the instructions on page ‘26’, ‘Saves on your Wii Memory Card Part 2: Copying Saves to your PC Database’.
Powersaves (see page ‘22’) save a copy to your PC Database so you can access them another time without even going online. Also, use your PC Database as a back-up for important Wii gamesaves. Not all saves can be transferred in this way – some are locked to your console and cannot be moved to a Memory Card.
When you’ve made a gamesave that you’d like to share with the community, the first step is to make sure it’s in your PC Database. Follow the steps described in on page ‘25’ under the section ‘Saves on your Wii Memory Card Part 2: Copying Saves to your PC Database’.
UPDATE NOW button. Device Drive: On certain PC configurations it may be necessary to tell your Media Manager software which drive letter the Wii’s Memory Card is on (for instance, if you have another USB storage device present). If this is the case, tick the box that says ‘DO NOT SEARCH’, and then choose the drive letter for the Memory Card in the drive letter selector.
