Why not use a third party DVD program like WinDVD?
It is a much better program than the "light' dvd player that comes from ATI,
and if the *rest* of your system is up to it, you can watch live tv and dvd
at the same time. You don't specify which ATI card you have, but in order
to do both at the same time I would recommend a card that has 128MB of video
RAM.

Your card has MPEG2 decoding capabilities in the hardware which is also used
by the LiveVideo. It seems that the drivers are not sophisticated enough to
allow both functions in parallel or without one shutting down completely.
