Showtime. Circumnavigating the copy protection of a DVD or protected digital data is illegal within the

10) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: When I try to convert my movies, I get the error “Video connector was not obtained. Failed to convert
movie” What does this mean?
A: This means you do not have the correct codec installed to decode the movie. A good rule of thumb is
that Wii GameShark can convert any video that can be played in Windows Media Player on your PC. A
good decoder to install is FFDShow. This can be downloaded here:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm
If you want to decode Matroska .MKV files, you will need to install a Matroska filter, and so on. Check out
the Wii GameShark Hints and Tips page at www.gameshark.com for further information on codecs and
converting movie files.
Q: I’ve copied a media file from the PC to the Memory Stick/ USB device, but when I browse the SD card
using my Wii browser the file is not there.

A: You might have disconnected the USB cable while the file was being copied. Always disconnect the SD
card using the Windows Safely Remove Hardware icon in the bottom right of your Windows desktop.
Q: I have copied a file across from my PC to my SD Card, but it does not appear to be there. Why is this?
A: Select ‘Refresh Memory Stick’ from the File menu. This will refresh the Memory Stick Panel, and if
transferred correctly and it is a recognized file type, your file should now be visible.
Q: I have updated the software to the latest version but still have occasional problems.
A: We suggest that if you have internet access, you should use Windows Updates to update your version
of Windows. Microsoft continually develops Windows to improve and fix various issues. We therefore
recommend you keep your version of Windows as up to date as possible. Our software is always designed
to run with the latest updated versions of Windows and it is good practice to ensure your PC is updated
with the latest security updates from Microsoft.

A: Major versions will be released as new products, but minor versions may be released for free as an
upgrade at GameShark’s discretion.
