Possible to eliminate or calm down edge ghosting on Hi8?
 

I'm asking if there's an Avisynth or Virtualdub filter that will eliminate or calm down the harsh ghosting around edges. Attached are two short samples of crummy low light scenes, so I understand there may be nothing than can be done. Equipment is Sony CCD-TRV65 TBC, DNR On, Edit Off with TvOneTask 1T-TBC-GL, ATI 600 USB captured with VirtualDub.

(Ghosting lights 2.avi has no audio, but otherwise both clips are direct stream copies of my captures)
