What are you asking for, exactly? Please define what you mean by "play videos off my PC".

Do you mean you want to play videos that you've created on a PC on another device? You want to watch movies on your PC? You want to stream video from your PC to your TV/home theater? You want to stream video to SL? You want to view video in SL? I could go on all day with possibilities for what that statement could mean. Please clarify.

I'd recommend streaming them from a web server, not from your home PC. Up speed on home connections is generally pretty poor, even if you have good down speed. If you don't have a website of your own with the resources for streaming, there are many video-specific services available. Google Videos, PutFile, and YouTube are popular. Just encode the video in a Quicktime compatible format, upload it to the server, and then point the media settings for yor land in SL to the appropriate URL where the video is.
