Unable to play files from data DVD

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to "Open...", "File...", then "Wii DVD..."
2. The disc drive starts making noise and the words on the screen 
disappear for a minute, then they come back. The file browser never comes 
up.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Rather than seeing what's on the disc, it takes me back to selecting what 
to load from.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The newest version (that I know of).

Please provide any additional information below.
I have firmware 3.3U and DVDX installed. Playing DVD-videos works fine, so 
I know DVDX is correctly installed.

I am having this same problem. I'm using v0.5 and Wii version 3.3U, and DVDx is
installed correctly. I've tried with both a DVD+R and a DVD-RW.

If you are having a modchip installed it could be that "blocking" access to the 
drive. I have a WiiD-chip installed and I get the exact same behavior. But I 
can "disable" the modchip through a "press and hold the reset button" 
combination on 
my wii and when it's disabled it reads fine from DVD drive. How to disable your 
chip 
depends on your chip and must be read about in the documentation of that 
specific 
chip. 

I have no problems with Fuji DVD-R (ritek) but sometimes if I burn to fast the 
Wii 
can't read disc and I also get same behavior. Burn slower of try another disc.

I'm on 4.0E.

I do not have a modchip on my Wii. The DVD-RW disc that I tried was burned at 
2x, so
I would assume that would be slow enough.

Does Wii support DVD+R or DVD-RW well? I recall that even for modchips, they 
are not
all supported.

Read the FAQ for DVDX:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/DVDx#FAQ

Basically if you're using DVD+R/RW you need to change its book type to DVD-ROM. 
Try
googling "bitsetting" for details.

I already knew about that. I tried it with a DVD+R, which I wasn't expecting to 
work,
but then I used a DVD-RW, NOT a DVD+RW.

DVD-RW is NOT the same as DVD-R. DVD-RW is also incapable of bitsetting, unlike
DVD+RW, so you're out of luck trying to use those with DVDX if they are already 
not
being read.

Okay, I have tried several different burners and I have found that burning 
files 
with ImgBurn works just about every time. Files load perfectly on the Wii. So 
to 
anyone using a different program, try ImgBurn and see how that works. I burn at 
8x 
and it works fine.
