If you are using a moden computer and a modern hard drive with SATA connector, the cheapest way to get the content on your computer is via a SATA to USB 3.0 connector.

There are various ways to play it through your set. I use a cheap RCA set top box that plays video via a USB stick. Other ways include converting the DVI, HDMI or Display Port connectors (plus audio) to video. Below is a link to an HDMI to NTSC video convertor.

There are all sorts of solutions on Amazon.
