bundled vdpau creates blue tint on youtube movies

[Steve Magoun]

Youtube and other movies play back with a blueish tint when using the nvidia-310-updates drivers on my MacbookPro3,1 with 8600M GT. It looks like a colorspace conversion issue. This is always reproducible on my system.

To reproduce:
1) Watch a video in the browser, such as this one (UDS 13.05 intro): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fExfA0i2yEE

Expected results:
Colors, especially skin tones, look normal; there is no blue cast

Actual results:
Colors have a bluish tint. Jono looks like an extra from the movie 'Avatar'.

The problem can be eliminated by reinstalling the libvdpau1 package after the nvidia-310-updates package is installed:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libvdpau1

nvidia-310-updates provides a different implementation of livdpau that looks like it overwrites the implementation provided by libvdpau1. Seems like there is a bug in the libvdpau libraries provided by NVIDIA.

This problem also affects Google hangouts.
