So in effect, no DVD support is a practical measure. At a maximum, that would mean licensing PLUS extra decoder chips. At a minimum that would be additional licensing fees that would drive up the cost of each unit. In addition, Nintendo would need to add MPEG decoder hardware or software. Remember all the drive failures in PS2 models? Well, we'd definitely see a higher rate of drive failures if Nintendo supported DVD playback. Thus the Wii's design is for reliability purposes. The latter puts more strain on the motor, which often causes the drives to fail faster. This is different from regular DVD drives that spin the disc faster or slower depending on the track. The Wii's firmware drives the disc at a constant velocity, no matter what track is being read. Like most made up crap, though, there's a grain of unrelated truth. It's made up crap you read on the Internet. Take this with a grain of salt, as it may just be made up crap I read on the internet:
