Here, with the proprietary Nvidia driver, color balance works fine with totem-gstreamer if the Video sink is set to "autodetect" in gstreamer properties.
If you manually set the sink to "No Xv", then I can confirm that color balance will have no effect. I confirm and set this as a minor bug because not everyone wants to change the Sink to No Xv. BTW, the reset button in the color balance has a little bug I've reported upstream ;-) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343378 ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal => Minor Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- Color Balance settings have no effect on the output https://launchpad.net/bugs/34659 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
