MJPG and network copying

WDTV Live with latest firmware.

When playing over network (Win7 64bit or Tversity) avi (MJPEG) files made by photo camera Fuji are lagging.

Is that a know issue?

Also there are problems when I try to copy moviesover netwrok  from PC to USB drive connected to WDTV.

Small files like photos or mp3 files are copied, but when movie is copied, then nothing happens. Copying window just stays stays and stays and nothing moves or changes - no copying process.

If you check the user manual, you’ll note the problem is the file itself. MJPG is not a supported playback codec.
