Best way to watch movies held on a pc on a tv?

Hi - i have several movies on my pc - what is the best way to watch them on my tv which is in another room in the house. if it is a case of ripping them to a dvd, what is software would you recommend?
Answer
You can convert the files to dvd format but it is inefficient to do that in my experience. have a look at the ebay link below. divx compatible dvd players are dirt cheap and the likelihood is that the movies you have are in this format. also as divx files are normally around 700-800mb you can get up to 7 films on a single disc. i have most of my favourite tarantino films on 1 disc which i watch on my chipped xbox.
