Yep, just plug it into a spare USB hole and it'll mount on the desktop.

What? Yes it is - just plug the external HDD into the MacBook, plug MacBook into TV and then play the video. Done. |

Try looking at the QuickTime plug in called Perian.

Edit: Looks like I wasn't the only one who thought of Perian

Sounds like you may need video codecs. Perian should have everything you need: Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime components
Edit: Haha, great minds think alike. |
