Please describe the problem: The attached ogv video was generated with cheese. When I play it with mplayer or gxine it is played ok but, when I open it with totem, it's shown with turned to blue colours and, then, mplayer and gxine also play it wrong until I logout and login again from gnome Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

Which video card and driver are you using? Try playing with the colour balance sliders (especially "Hue") in the preferences.
I have an nvidia card with nvidia driver (=173.*): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1) Seems that playing with Hue I can get the proper play, by default, I have it at medium, and I get the "blue" colours. If I move it to lowest or highest value I get the proper play, Is it normal? Thanks
