    Is anybody using the drivers from laptopvideo2go for the 8600GT video card? If you are, how are you getting your blu ray playback to work? I've tried 2 sets of drivers to no avail...

    If anybody knows a fix for this (the blu-ray playback doesn't work with the laptop video 2 go drivers) please let me know! Thanks

    Known fact that you need one of two things to make video playback work with BR/HDDVD.

    1) WHQL certified drivers (laptopvideo2go's are not with the modded INF), like say Dell's drivers.
    2) AnyDVD HD

    So I guess it's impossible to have a decent set of overclockable drivers and have BR playback...bummer...
