Do you have wireless? Set up a media server and there is an option to items to your hdd when you click triangle. Check out this link for a list of media servers for all platforms.

If you enable Windows Media Player to enable streaming, you can copy them (or simply stream them) from your PC over LAN. However, I'm not sure if there's a 'Copy All' function, and the transfers do take awhile. Some form of USB storage device would be your best bet, much faster, even if you have to do it on a crummy 2GB USB Stick.

I find mine are pretty fast on a good connection. Also, he has an imac.

I would recommend MediaLink as a media server, it's by far the best, most reliable, and easiest to use on OS X IMO. One of the only pieces of software I've ever actually bought, and well worth the money.

PMS

Not sure how well it works with OSX but it's the best I've used for PC. It actually converts the video file (if mkv) to M2TS which works with the PS3. It'll even transfer files greater than 4GB with no issues. Barring OSX compatibility, I'd go with PMS. Let me know if you have any questions if you decide to go this route.
