These shiny, multi-gigabyte discs can run entire operating systems, put movies on your computer and vice-versa, host a robust copy of Wikipedia, and do so much more, if you know how to work them. Check out some of our favorite hacks and tips for getting the most out of DVDs, whether released by Hollywood or purchased at OfficeMax. emPhoto by a href="http://flickr.com/photos/sfmine79/1857296481/"MiNe (sfmine79)/a./em/p h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"10.

The stuff might just polish the disc enough, and smooth out its surface, to let a laser do its thing.

And you also probably have a PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii. If those two things aren't working together for you in beautiful symbiosis, allowing you to watch all of your downloaded or ripped video on your TV instead of hunched over a laptop screen, well, this is the guide for you./p pNow there are two general strategies you can take: physically copying your files to a USB drive, memory card or CD/DVD, which is pretty straightforward, or streaming your video over the network, which is where things get more fun and interesting. So let's dive in./p pFirst things first, codecs. Now that you're all learn-ed on the ways of video encoding thanks to a href="http://gizmodo.com/5093670/giz-explains-every-video-format-you-need-to-know"Matt's Giz Explains from this week/a, the issue of codecs will make a lot more sense. Thankfully, it's not something you have to worry too much about here, because all three consoles can handle a large number of the codecs you will find commonly: AVI, MPEG (1, 2 and 4), H.264, DivX/XviD, and WMV—and if a particular format you want to play isn't supported, it's often possible to convert it to work on the fly. The PS3 also supports AVCHD, a format used by many HD camcorders. Not all formats are supported with every streaming method though, especially in the 360's case, which we'll get to in a second. Now, for getting all those files on the TV./p pNote: if you need to re-encode a video in a different format because it won't play, nothing beats VLC's transcoding wizard. a href="http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch02.html"Here's a guide./a/p pstrongXbox 360: Streaming (PC)/strongbr img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/2008/11/custom_1227297019303_tversity_01.png" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="494" height="403" style="display:block;" /In typical Microsoft fashion, there are tons of different ways to pull of streaming your video to the Xbox 360—and the only one that's truly comprehensive, in our opinion, comes from a third party. a href="http://tversity.com/"TVersity/a is a free UPnP media server that can manage your video and music files anywhere on your PC and stream them out to your 360 over the network. It will also kindly transcode just about any video you can throw at it into a codec your console can definitely read. You might have to install some additional codec packs here and there for Windows but for the most part, you can forget about worrying about codecs with TVersity. This also allows TVersity to handle files not officially supported by the 360, like MKV containers./p p1. Grab a href="http://tversity.com/"TVersity here/a and install it.br 2.

Under advanced options, set your transcoding preferences: "When Needed" will make sure most all of your files play.br 4. In the main TVersity menu, select "Start Sharing"br 5. On the Xbox 360, TVersity will now appear as a source in the Media blade or under My Xbox -gt; Video Library in NXE./p pThe other three options via Microsoft's own various software solutions all have their own drawbacks, which we'll cover here briefly. Our advice? Use them only if you already use the Zune software, Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center to manage all of your video./p pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/2008/11/custom_1227297041777_windowsmediaplayer_01.png" width="494" height="432" style="display:block;" /strongWindows Media Player 11/strong: WMP 11 can stream out to the Xbox 360 pretty easily. Here is an a href="http://paininthetech.com/2008/01/03/stream-video-to-xbox-360-with-windows-media-player-or-winamp-remote"in-depth guide/a. strongDrawbacks?/strong Somewhat clunky format support. In our tests we could not stream Quicktime video at all, and had inconsistent experiences with MP4 files. MPEG-4 and H.264 support are technically supported via third-party WMP codec add-ons, but even with those, we still had trouble—MP4 files tended to play fine on the WMP 11 end, but not show up as browsable on the 360. Somewhat unbelievably, the Xbox 360 team actually recommends you a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/xboxteam/archive/2007/11/30/december-2007-video-playback-faq.aspx"manually rename your unsupported MPEG-4 and H.264 files/a, adding the ".avi" container extension to fool WMP into playing them. This worked occasionally, but not for every file and was generally inconsistent.br clear="all"/p pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/2008/11/custom_1227297025800_zune_01.png" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="494" height="338" style="display:block;" /strongZune Software 3.0/strong: Zune offers a much nicer interface than WMP (Settings -gt; Sharing -gt; Add is the extent of the setup), and thankfully supports MPEG4 and H.264 much more consistently. strongDrawbacks?/strong No DivX or Xvid support, which means a huge chunk of your Torrented video probably won't work.br clear="all"/p pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/2008/11/custom_1227297876080_360_MCE.jpg" width="494" height="308" style="display:block;" /strongWindows Media Center Extender/strong: If you already have a Media Center setup honking on your network, there's a good chance you won't need this guide, but the Xbox 360 can of course stream your MCE content to your TV seamlessly (a a href="http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/1392/Xbox-360-Windows-Media-Center-Setup-Guide/p1/"complete guide is here/a). The interface is really fantastic. strongDrawbacks?/strong The gimpiest codec support of the bunch: only MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and WMV are supported. So unless you're converting everything you have into those formats, you'll still need something like TVersity to play most files you'll find up for download.br clear="all"/p pSo, in the end, TVersity wins hands down as the easiest and most elegant streaming setup for the 360. But do keep in mind—if you're playing a format that your Xbox can't handle (MKV being the most common of these you'll find), TVersity will have to transcode, which means you will lose a bit of quality./p pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/2008/11/custom_1227297010629_connect360_01.png" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="494" height="378" style="display:block;" /strongXbox 360: Streaming (Mac)/strong: UPnP support—the networking standard used by both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in various flavors to play network-streamed video, music and photos—is not natively supported by OS X yet. And unfortunately, there isn't a stellar all-in-one free package like Windows' TVersity.br clear="all"/p pNullriver, however, makes an incredibly slick piece of software called a href="http://www.nullriver.com/products/connect360"Connect360/a, which easily streams all of your iLife libraries or any folder full of video on your Mac to the 360. Unfortunately, it'll cost you $20. There is a free trial version that supposedly shuts off after 30 minutes of sharing, but sometimes it seems to forget and lets you play longer. But even so, $20 isn't bad for the convenience factor here. No transcoding, but it will handle every codec the console itself can play back./p p1. Download and install the Connect360 preference pane.br 2. In System Preferences, start up Connect360 sharing. Here you can also add folders for more sharing.br 3. Access the Connect360 source on your Xbox in the usual way.

If streaming isn't for you, and you don't mind hauling a storage device back and forth between your computer and Xbox, then this is super easy: Insert Flash disk/USB/CD/DVD and browse it with the Media blade or the Video Library section of NXE (under "My Xbox"). Enjoy.br clear="all"/p pstrongPlaystation 3: Streaming (PC)/strongbr strongTVersity/strong: Again, Tversity is your friend. It works just as well for the PS3 as it does for Xbox 360 (see above for setup)./p p1.

In the Media Sharing preference box with your PS3 powered on and connected to the network, select "Unknown Device"—that's your PS3.br 2.
