    My only recommendation is to download the new Dell drivers.

    The problem is not your video drivers -- it's Dell Media Direct being a little too choosy. I installed WinDVD + Blu-ray on my XPS M1730, and it has no problems playing Blu-Ray disks with any of the Laptopvideo2go nVidia drivers.

    I'm guessing that Dell Media Direct's BD-player is searching for a WHQL certificate, but these don't usually carry over when using lv2g's modded .inf file. You could try installing 175.19 direct from nVidia's web site and forcing the driver update through the Vista Device Manager. I haven't had a chance to install 175.19 this way yet, but I'll post results later.
