>If it's an old show suitable for CRT there should be torrents with 480p dvd rips around, don't need to convert.

This, JUST _BEAR IN MIND:_
From a couple of years now, content from 480p sources has been circulating encoded with newer codecs (i.e. h.265) for better compression and quality. So yeah, torrents we downloaded of the complete Dragon Ball in 2012 with DVD rip 480p quality, will play, because h.264 was the best codec back then.

The Wii plays h.264 encodes, but NOT h.265 which is the codec used for most NEWER anime encoded to 480p in TELEGRAM.

I get many series from Telegram, and specially new content which has been downscaled for mobiles and low bandwidth for 3rd world (expensive data rates) uses h.265 because it has better compression and modern Android devices have no problem with it.

So yeah... all my older torrents of movies and series I got with perfect DVD quality/rips in the 2000 to early 2010s they all play perfectly in the Wii.

For example, I had a 360p version of Clarissa Explains It All I downloaded in 2008ish... it was ok for the time, it uses h.264 codec so no issue with the Wii, but I wanted better quality so I found the series in 480p, ripped recently, and it was already h.265, so it would not play (only audio).

So I re-encoded a bunch of media for Telegram, search in telegram "480p h.264" and you will find my channels.

Back to the issue, HandBreak is great to re-encode and as long as you do not mind for file size, you can get incredibly neat 480p videos from BlueRay sources, it is incredible how good it gets when you do not mind huge files.

Ah, if you want to make sure what codec some video is using for compression (whether h.264 or h.265), then run the video in VLC Player and press "Control+J", it will show all the info on the video/audio the first line will show the codec.
