Your laptop with have a VGA out for an external monitor/projector etc. Get a VGA-to-Component cable for picture. Second your laptop will have a 3.5mm audio jack, get a 3.5mm to RCA converter. Once you hock it all up make sure you enable video output to external monitor, in you case your Plasma. Depending on brand of laptop, but it could be as easy as hitting Function+F4, F5 or F6 to cycle trough the output preference.Quality will depend on you avi, 90% of avi files are only Standard Definition at best and will not look too flash on HD plasma. IMO is it not worth waisting DVD's and going to the effort of converting them to burn to DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it can just be erased and used again.Another option would be to get a media center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/08/08 09:22 AM Share Posted 13/08/08 09:22 AM would it also work if I laoded them to my ipod and connected that to the tv?I use to do the d/l then convert then burn onto a disc to watch on the big screen but depending on how many espisodes can take >1 hr. What I do now is d/l everything in ipod format or mpeg4. A normal avi cant be transfered to an Ipod and be watched it has to be converted again >1hr. I presume you are getting the avi's via bit torrent so just look for an ipod version or mpeg4 version to simply copy and paste onto your Ipod. There is a great site to d/l just ipod movies and TV shows just need to google it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
