Colors incorrect in flash videos using youtube embeded player.

[Vague Entertainment]

Daily motion, crunchy roll, and many other flash video sites are un-affected by this issue. Youtube videos shift the colors similarly to bug #938751.

Verified same behavior on Ubuntu 12.04.

This might be a duplicate of bug #974620.

Switching off the hardware acceleration or using the workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/974620/comments/3 both works for me, but the latter makes the flash plug-in quite unstable (as mentions in the comments).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
