AVI files from DV not playing

Currently neither AVI DV nor MOV based on the DV codec are supported by your WD Live, they are not internally supported by the chipset either - I don’t think it is much of a problem since most people transfer their DV into DVD anyway - With a good enough encoder you can get excellent results, I know I do.  Adding new codecs can be costly for WD.  I think it would be better to spend the money on further enhancements and new features as a priority, and given the fact you can convert your DV footage to a supported format while retaining the quality, I don’t think should be a priority.
