I always thought that there was no way to watch wii videos until I found thpPlay on the interwebs. Amazingly it plays nearly all gamecube games and wii videos that have the thp extension. I got so into it that I started extracting videos with wiiscrubber and most of them didn't play or were clipped awkwardly... here are some pics...

These clips are from Tatsunoko Vs Capcom (U). The audio plays perfectly but the issue is the video. Something's wrong with these videos and I don't know what it is. I also found buggy videos in Punch Out and Smash Bros Brawl.
Some videos even appear to be blank and thpPlay won't even play them. After some investigating I found out that the ffmpeg group incorporated THP decoding into their pack which meant that mplayer could also reproduce these videos. It's damn bad luck that the video shows exactly as in thpPlay and to top it off the decoding isn't even perfect (it skips some frames at certain intervals making the audio get unsynced
). I was thinking that it might have something to do with the cIOS on the console not having the necessary functions to allow the backup loader to rip a 1:1 copy of a game... but if so then it wouldn't play on the console either when it actually does. I don't know much about the IOSes to keep on guessing... 
I then tried using Dolphin's file browser to extract the same file to see if it was the program doing the extraction that was buggy. The resulting video file played exactly the same and it even had the same CRC32. Then, just for kicks and to frustrate myself a bit more I decided to run the iso on Dolphin and much to my surprise the video played well when it came up.
Does anybody know what's going on? Plz...

( And a little English )
). It's worth commenting that when the file is played in mplayer/smaplyer it won't play either but when looking at the clip properties no info is shown, not even resolution. It's like it's missing its header or something like that.
