Thanks, that's exactly what I was interested in so will check out and as @duncs suggested have them on a USB so I'll also look at handbrake too. The TV is new last year so will check what formats it can read.
@gbj_tester I did consider the dvd option but I just don't want it (or the DVDs) cluttering up the living room.

I use MakeMKV which deals with most (all?) DVD protection. Also allows you to e.g. ignore any streams under half an hour, so you only get the main feature. You may want to keep the raw uncompressed MKV files (even if your TV can't play them) as well as compressed MPG or whatever.
But I'm not up to speed on playing them direct on the telly, as I have a (completely overkill) server to play them via a RPi client.
