I was just wondering if there are any remotes out there that can trigger the recording of video on the 5D2? All the ones I have found are for the shutter button for taking pictures, instead of the "Set" button for video. Thanks!

You can start and stop the movie taking with the Canon IR remote controllers:

5D2 manual, page 125 wrote:
You can use Remote Controller RC-1/RC-5 to start and stop the movie shooting. With RC-1, set the timing switch to <2> (2-sec. delay), then press the transmit button. If the switch is set to <o> (immediate shooting), still photo shooting will take effect.

Oh thanks very much! Would you happen to know if the eBay remotes that copy the RC-5's will work too?

Sorry but I can't say for sure since I have no experience with them.
