This is getting a little frustrating. I updated my Wii to 3.2U, and I have the 1.8 firmware. I have a US Wii. I am once again getting the Choppy Video Playback bug on all the games I have tested so far.

Choppy video on: Super Mario Galaxy, Wario Ware, and Dragon Ball Z 3

I've exactly the same problems of you!
3.2E, Pal WII, FW 1.8
Super mario galaxy and DragonBall Z 3 plays with choppy video. SMG semms to do this only in the first video. I've tried to burn my Verbatim -R to 8x instead of 4x, but the result it's the same. I haven't fiind a solution yet... I'll try to burn SMG to 16x

My Wii is 3.2E..Argon 1.8..SMG on Verbatim ADVANCED AZO+ -R @16 runs PERFECTLY!

some burners also have better resuts then other burners. And indeed don't try to burn slower. It only increases writing errors.

[cmyhack]

You've to watch the burner max speed too..mine is 18x..so i can write at 16x without problems..maybe if yours has max speed 16x it's better to burn @12 o 8x..it's always better to don't effort the device..

SMG burn at 8x and 16x. 8x choopy like 4x, 16x in the first 3/4 seconds the video is PERFECT, no slow, no choppy, but after these 3/4 seconds the video and the sound is slowly and choopy like before, so no solution with 16x burn

reporting my findings:
PAL wii with argon white dot installed.
Backups working
Tried some originals, Zelda, Wii sport, ...  and it has issues reading the toc? (drive spins slow , makes a lens popup sound then engine stops in order to retry this procedure. It never starts spinning like a recognized disk. if i wait a while the disc gets recognized (after 2 minutes...) then runs perfect! clearly a toc reading issue, but this started after flashing to 1.8. Hope i am not the only one with this toc issue.

My zelda seemed to have similar problems on Infectus 1.8. It ran perfectly under 1.4, but now I occasionally get the "Unable to read disc" screen and the drive does sound like t has a lot of trouble during the initial read.

I updated to 1.8 from 1.3 and I notice a loud noise while trying to boot games that never happened before.
 
In 1.3 I could't play any Gamecube games but these ones seem to work now :

Mario Tennis
Mario Dance Dance Revolution
A multigame Emulator (got it to boot but no game seems to play, I think it's the emu it's self )

And these ones have errors :

Skies of Arcadia Legends ( really wanted to play this one ) but error saying unable to read disc.
Eternal Darkness ( also really looking forward to this game, heard so much about it) Loads up to title screen and a voice starts, then I get an error on screen saying there is a problem with this disc.
Crazy Taxi This game seems to play fine, but I have all horizontal black lines up top of the screen that arn't supposed to be there.


And last one is a WII Game, TRAUMA CENTER: NEW BLOOD . It see's the disc in the drive, and when I go to play it by clicking START, it just goes to a black screen. And it freezes my wii. ONly way to get off it is by disconnection the power at the back.


Btw, my Wii is a PAL Console, but I have played other NTSC games before in it, out of the ones I've tested it's just this NTSC one. Anyone else have a Pal consoel and got New Blood to work ?

EDIT: I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I flashed it back to Argon 1.7 and now Skies of Arcadia is working and doesn't make those loud noises when trying to boot a game. But unfortunately NEW BLOOD is still the same

eternal darkness works fine here on my pal console

I can't say definitively until I have time to run some tests (might be a couple days), but it seems something has changed in the Wii backup read code. I tried starting Super Mario Galaxy and it came up as unreadable disc. Had to reboot the Wii (completely power down and power back up) and then eject the disc and put it back in. Then it worked. Played for about 3-4 hours, got to the end movie in SMG and it stopped half way through with the "an error has occurred" message. I ejected the game and put it back in and a couple seconds later the movie continued playing. The laser also sounds like it's having problem keeping in sync with the tracks on the disc at times. But besides that, no hiccups while playing.

Similarly, Zelda had some trouble getting recognized (Unable to read disc). And the first time I booted it on 1.8 it had the "Error has occurred" screen.

Has anybody else been getting these messages on Infectus 1.8? Infectus 1.4 didn't seem to have any of these problems, but something might've happened when I was upgrading to 1.8.

I'm gonna flash it back to 1.4/1.7 and see if I still have issues sometime in the next couple days hopefully. Just wanted to see if anybody else was having similar problems.

This is a NTSC Wii w/ Infectus 1 - Wiiktus 1.8.

I reburned the isos at 8X on Verbatim DVD-R.  This is the fastest my DVD burner will burn. I am still getting the choppy video on FMW. The video is extremely bad on SMG opening scene.

This was on a US Wii, with Firmware 3.2U, and 1.8 Firmware.

If infectus could put out an update to fix this, this would be appreciated. I have the Argon 125 chipset, and noticed that others are having the same problems also.

The media was also burned on DVD+R Sony at 4 X and Verbatim DVD+R at 4 X with the same problem. The install is good, and was done professionally, and the wii is less than 2 months old (played for one). I doubt it can be the machine itself.

Thank you in advance for looking into the problem.

It is not an issue with the firmware. I have the same setup as you NTSC(3.2U) ARGONG 125 with 1.8 and it works perfectly fine plus hundreds of users have updated to 1.8 firmware with no issue. Check your instillation again (make sure if the 4 extra wires have been installed they are installed properly). Plus try using different media burn at half the rated speed with IMGburn

Excellent updated firmware. Gamecube games work somewhat now.

I'm having an issue with Super Mario Sunshine (NTSC-U). There is an error during the intro. I am running Agron 1.8, on a NTSC-U Wii.

If you skip the intro, the game works fine as far as I can tell.
