i did the same thing for a few years (hooking the MB to the tv).
i recently purchased a $40 dvd player with a USB on the front. i put the .avi files on a flash drive and it plays without issue and saves a lot of plugging/unplugging hassles.
if you stay with the MB in to the tv, VLC handled 99% of all the files i threw at it.
