I have the same problem and I am running a dell precision 470 with dual 3.6 xeons and 7 gig of ram. I am running x64 2008 server enterprise edition. I also don’t know what program to run to play dvd’s… While aero is working I think that the video seems to be slow for some reason. I am using an ati 2600 xt 512 meg of video ram, I am not a game player, but want to watch dvd’s. I feel that server 2003 was better because the catalyst program was working, maybe someone can recommend something better than nero 8 ultimate for a dvd player, thanks. Also if someone can come up with a ccc fix I would appreciate it.
First of all, I urge you to file a bug report about CCC not working on Server 2008 at the AMD/ATI site. The more of us whine, the sooner will they move a finger.
About your OT question regarding DVD playing: I use Media Player Classic (as a player) and FFDShow (as a codec pack) for all my video needs, including DVDs, AVIs, HD content (MKV, BD, HDDVD) and anything else. It’s developed and maintained by a small group of dedicated individuals, it’s free and provides the highest quality and customization a media player can give you.
A google search for these two above will lead you straight to the download site.
