Totem Gstreamer Hue Keep Changing (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.
 We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Maybe I can help with this, since it's at least 6 months I'm seeing this intermittently on my PPC machine (could be related to the nv video drivers, dunno).

What happens is:
* start a movie in Totem, for example a mpeg4 video; the color is not very bright,
and sometimes a kind of sepia tone.
* go to Preferences, and look at the Hue and Saturation sliders. They're all in the middle. You can reset them with the appropriate button if necessary: the movie colors still don't show right.
* bring the slider of Hue to the right-end of the line
* now colors of the movie are back to normal: of an acceptable intensity and the movie is watchable.

The Hue and Saturation sliders seem to have an effect only on some cases and not on others; for example, I can reproduce this bug without problem on my PPC machine with an nVidia card, but those sliders do absolutely nothing no matter how I set them on my x86 machine with an i810 driver. But maybe this is a different kind of bug.

I'll try and see if I can take a screenshot of the issue -- but as I said, this bug is intermittent.

This is a screenshot taken with my camera and hue set to the default values. You can see how the movie is desaturated.

Hue changed for this specific movie. If I do reboot, open some other movie or what else, chances are I have to set the hue manually again.
I've also had some problems on the x86 (i810 card) but not with the Hue -- there it was the contrast to be too high for the default value.
