How to get your Mac to talk to your Wii

wiitransferThis holiday season, there will be a lot of Nintendo Wiis under the Christmas trees. If you want to turn your new Wii into a media center, download Wii Transfer from Riverfold software ($19).

With Wii Transfer, you can share your movies, music, and pictures directly to your Nintendo Wii using the Internet Channel. Copy Miis from your Wii back to your Mac and save them as images. Browse iTunes playlists and iPhoto albums on your television. Convert your movies to formats the Wii understands, either streaming directly from your Mac or for playback in the Wii’s Photo Channel. Wii Transfer can even manage saved game backups copied to an SD card.

Media sharing works by running a small web server inside Wii Transfer. To connect to your movies, music, and pictures, you need to use the Internet Channel on your Wii and enter a URL provided by the software. If you purchased your Wii before July of 2007, the Internet Channel is free to you. If not you will need to pay $5 on the Wii shopping channel to obtain it.
