Any news about the real fix? If the bug has been isolated already 3 months ago I can’t believe the fix hasn’t been released yet.

Note that the “recommended” NVidia drivers (which now can be used on ubuntu 11.10) does NOT fix the issue at all.

Fix 1 is not a feasible solution because the “recomended” NVidia driver is completely broken; it may fix the blueshifted colors, but it screws up almost everything else (I wonder why it has been released, it’s still beta crap)
I’ll try fix 2

THANK YOU! fix 2 worked perfectly.
since i wanted the driver because it ran the ubuntu effects more smoothly, I didn’t want to remove it.

Reset to defaults in Movie Player’s preferences didnt work for me but setting gstreamer-properties worked great. Thanks.

open: system->Administration->NVIDIA X Server Setting
Click the tab “X server XVideo Setting”, then you will see “Hue” tab,While open your video player,DIY the Variable until the color is adpated.

I tried the gstreamer-properties solution which fixed the issue for the Totem player but that left all other video players with the same problem. Tonight I decided to try changing my NVIDIA driver to the one not yet active. I also removed the Totem property setting for testing purposes.

After rebooting I popped a DVD in and Totem appeared to display the color correctly and so does VLC which previously displayed the color incorrectly. So then I changed the video driver back and….still no problems. I think one of the Ubuntu system updates that I have applied after the fix described in this post must have fixed the problem in general.

Can anyone else confirm that this problem has gone away (after updates) system wide?
