Think of Hyper-V Server as just an operating system stub that allows you to run virtual machines - no requirement for a full host OS just to run VMs.
Live Migration provides fault tolerant virtual machines with no downtime when failing over to other clustered hosts. It's a really cool feature, and one many customers have asked for.
However there are multiple layers of caching so your test (playing a video in WMP) was not really valid now was it? A better test would have been to run a continuous ping.
