    It all depends what they are stored on at the moment. If it's video/DVD then best way would be to get a TV card with S-Video or Av connections on it, then just run straight out of your current setup to that.

    You could do it for a little over a tenner with an xbox and XBMC.Not the easiest of things to setup, but once it's done you'll wonder how you lived without it.
