Hi there,

since a few days I have a problem with Blu-Ray playback with PowerDVD 12 on a Win7 system (with an AMD Radeon R9 200).

In dark scenes there's very annoying block building and a weird colors appear (for example in b&w movies it becomes purple)

Also, in lighter scenes there's sometimes a yellowish tint that shouldn't be there.

I didn't have this problem before and now it happens with all Blu-Ray discs I tested so far. And in another player (Leawo Blu-ray Player) I tested the discs, everything's fine.

What could I do to solve this?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello,

Did you update your PowerDVD 12 to the latest version? A new patch update was released near the end of April:

You should also update your graphics card, as that has a bigger affect on video image quality. Make sure you do that continually.

Hi Dave,

thanks for your answer.

I already checked the versions of PowerDVD ans my graphic card driver; both are up to date.

In the meantime I installed the trial version of PowerDVD 18, and it also works perfectly fine, just as PowerDVD 12 only a few days ago...
