DV Codec Support

[Former user]

Add support to Serviio to detect DV codec in AVI files. Allow for "on the fly" transcoding to make native DV files viewable on render devices that do not natively support the DV codec. All DV sourced content is usually DV video with 48Khz, 16bit (or 12bit) PCM audio.

All testing done on Windows XP Pro SP3 with Serviio .5 RC1

Here is an FFMPEG.exe -i output from several avi files containing DV codec video and 48Khz, 16bit audio.

I guess it's a lot to ask, but it would be really great if serviio would extract the recording time codes embedded in the DV material and create a srt for that, that way, turning on the subtitles would let us know when the video was taken.
