    Hi there,

    Try using a programme such as Makemkv(search for it on the net) to backup the dvd to a .mkv file. You could use some other DVD backup software but most create several ISO files, creating one mkv ( on any other file container like .avi) makes it easier to manage on a hard drive.
    Then you can use most media players on the market to play them on your TV) I use the WDTV live and have it hooked up directly to my TV via HDMI.

    P.S. It only takes about 20 mins to backup a DVD with makemkv, there are probably better programmes out there but hopefully this gives you some idea....
