I saw this video that you can hack the wii mini to use homebrew and Wi-Fi with SD card can it play dvd on it with WIIMC?

The drive firmware will reject anything but genuine Wii discs. DVD "backdoor" has been removed long before the Wii Mini has been released.

See also what I wrote in this thread – too lazy to type it all out again.

Good luck and have fun!

You can't with the Wii Mini. Above my post, the drive firmware rejects anything that is a burned disc and it cannot be modified in any way shape or form to accept them. As I have previously mentioned in another thread here, you will need an original Wii (RVL-001) that has a drive chipset of DMS up to D2C in order to play DVDs in WiiMC.

    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
