does this happen with all media players (or several, rather)? mplayer, vlc, totem...

It probably has to do with your video card driver. I remember when I was first trying to install my Nvidia card, and I tried one of the drivers available and when I booted up, all the video players(VLC, Mplayer) made the video look very blue whenever I played an AVI or DVD. It's as if the red channel was missing from every video!

Then I changed my video driver to the one that I have now which works properly.
