On my Macbook Pro, I noticed videos played though Totem had a blue hue to them. This seems to be a bug in gstreamer and how it works with the ATI fglrx drivers. It has been fixed upstream, but has not made it in Ubuntu yet. Here quick workaround, till a patch is released.

1. Make sure gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is installed

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

2. Run gstreamer-properties

macbuntu:~$ gstreamer-properties

3. Change the video output plugin to custom
4. Change the video output pipeline to:

ffmpegcolorspace ! video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)YV12 ! xvimagesink
