Glad to hear there's going to be a fix soon. I've had the same issue with Star Wars and X-Men. Neither would play on my PowerDVD 7.3 so I bought a copy of 10, and they worked at first but then broke down into the issues listed above. I hope that the patch will work in PowerDVD 10 too!

FYI my system is:

Core 2 Duo 2.4 E6600
6GB DDR2 RAM
EVGA GTX 260
Samsung 20" 206BW - DVI
Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Star Wars worked slightly with PowerDVD 9... had the previously mentioned distorted picture. I upgraded to Power DVD 11, thinking that might fix the problem. Now the discs don't play at all.

Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8300 2500mhz
8 GB
ATI RAdeon HD 4600, 1024 DDR3
Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Hi Same here

Intel Atom D510 1,66 GHz
8 GB ram
Nvidia ION2
Win7 64 Bit Ultimate
One of four kernels is running at 100%
Only on my StarWars BD Boxset , all my other BD is ok.

Nice finding mattcharlton!

Downloaded and installed a suggested update today (for version 11) and it didn't help. Don't know if that was a new update or not, but I never got the message for it before.

It is a new update, build 2114, my problem still there too (can't read any blu-ray at all).

I also downloaded build 2114 today and I can at least play star wars without the application freezing up. However, I still get the weird color artifacts at random points. I can not make it repeat at any exact time stamp either. One moment we are watching just fine, the next all kinds of weird pixelation and color fragments all over the screen. Drivers are up to date and LG has not pushed any new firmware out for a while.

I've updated to 2114 as well with no difference. Processor 0 is mostly at 100% and occasional distortion/pixelation on playing Star Wars BluRay discs !!

What happened to the update??

It seems that nothing will happen :-/

Unfortunately with this new update star wars still plays with all the Artifacting and pixelation. . Not good cyberlink.

I bought PowerDVD 11 Ultra because of Star Wars !!!!! What have I paid for ????

Is the anyone from Cyberlink can answer us? I bought PowerDVD 11 Ultra because of Star Wars too!!!

They replied to me on facebook after i asked about the color artifacts with the following: "Our team is buying more discs of Starwars from more countries and checking various version/platform. Will keep looking into the issue until all fixed."

Not sure what to make of it. Perhaps different region discs are setup uniquely.

On top of my problems with the Star Wars playback, everything is in mono!!!! It's like the 'upgrade' from 9 to 11 is in fact a downgrade and it cost me ! I'm gonna want my money back soon !

You have 30 days after your purchase date to claim a refund. Let's see if they can fix these awful bugs in that delay.

Update didn't do much for me and still getting corrupt picture every now and then. However for everyones' information I did manage to rip all BD discs to hard drive and they play fine with PWDVD11 when read off HDD. Still Core0 100% though.

The reason for the artifacts is the BD+ encryption. The one processor running at 100% is another issue. Cyberlink needs to get this addressed because this has been an issue since Avatar. I thought Cyberlink was a member of the BD+ community so they should be able to correct this. By not fixing the issue totally, they are encouraging people to find ways of removing the BD+ encryption with other software or use a competitor's DVD software. It's a shame that us honest people have to deal with these issues. Hollywood is ultimately responsible for this mess, but like I said Cyberlink should have all the info they need from the BD+ community to fix the issues. They should have the decryption keys with every BD+ update. I bet the people with software to remove BD+ update faster than companies that make software to legally decrypt it like Cyberlink.

I decided to poke LG support to see if there may possibly be a firmware update needed.
