I've a SoftModded wii 3.4E

I've noticed that the recent XVID movies downloaded from internet doens't 
works on my WII... i've discovered that the problem is the MPlayer CE AVI  
parsing routine... These "bad" files had a spurios "JUNK" chunk after the 
RIFF chunk (.. in other words at the end of the file) Probably this create 
some problem to the MPlayer parsing routine... maybe the file size and the 
movie size in the header are not equal...on my PC using VLC or Windows 
MediaPlayer the movies works fine.

Actually i've to use VirtualDub to recode the movies... quite boring :) 
Much better to add some safecheck controls in the parsing routine!

Keep up the good works mighty!
