IMO the best way is to hook a laptop up to the TV via HDMI cable if the laptop supports it. Then you can play ANY file without having to convert, etc.... Because playing a 700MB avi (or even 1.4GB .mkv) on an upconverting DVD player is nothing compared to a proper HD rip (but of course nothing beats the original uncompressed source).
