My hardware
MacBook Core Duo 2.0 GHz, with el-crappo GMA 950 graphics
Xbox 360 HD DVD drive

My Xbox 360 add-on HD DVD drive is recognized (via USB 2) correctly on the MacBook, and under Vista I can recognize the HD DVD file structure just fine. However, when I installed PowerDVD 7, it was useless to play back HD DVD (even with AnyDVD installed). PowerDVD 7 says my GPU isn't good enough. I know that, but I'd be happy enough to use the Core Duo 2.0 CPU alone. It should work fine alone AFAIK, no?

I know some people have used PowerDVD 6.5 on the MacBook with Windows XP, but I understand that that program is very buggy, and it's moot for me anyway since I have Vista installed.

Is there any way to bypass the GPU check? I know people with a supported GPU can play back HD DVDs in PowerDVD 7 even if they turn off GPU acceleration, so it seems unnecessary to have this GPU requirement at all (esp. since that requirement didn't exist with PowerDVD 6.5).

WinDVD does not yet support HD DVD (or at least it doesn't in North America).
