Fix Artifacts and Pixelation Issues When Playing Blu-ray Discs

Blu-ray discs are known for delivering high-definition visuals and crystal-clear quality. However, artifacts and pixelation can occasionally ruin your viewing experience. These visual distortions often appear as blocky or blurry images, distracting from the movie's stunning visuals. A common culprit behind this issue is hardware acceleration decoding, a feature designed to offload video processing to your computer's GPU. While this feature can enhance performance, it may not always work flawlessly.
