Will TBC help quality much ?

Will a TBC help the quality here? The video was shot in 1994 under florescent lighting, probably with boosted gain. I have no idea what camera was used, but color is usually dull in low light.

Y/C delay correction filter?

Is there a filter to correct for Y/C delay after an S-video capture to Virtualdub using Lagarith? I read that "flaxen" can do it, but flaxen is nowhere to be found.

Thanks,
Steve
