Q: Screen colour temperature changes (bluer) when running web video, iDVD
An odd intermittent issue I noticed since upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion.
Noticed on MacBook Pro 15" (high resolution), Early 2011 (MacBookPro8,2).
When I launch iDVD the screen turns brighter and a more blue-ish hue. It reverts when I close iDVD.
Issue is not isolatied to iDVD, for example it also occurs when running BBC Olympics web video content:

Anyone know the cause or have a workaround? Driving me crazy!
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion

I'm on 10.8.3. My path was a clean install to 10.8, migrate user settings, then upgrade to 10.8.2, then 10.8.3. MacBook Pro 6,2.
Here's what fixed it for me. Shut down. Start in Safe Mode; when the system comes up, shut down again.
I've been using my MacBook Pro for a couple weeks and so far the fix seems permanent. (You can verify that the system is switching the graphics cards by looking at About this Mac - the active card will say Main Display)
