What is causing the "pink" in this video?

It shows mostly on lips and hair. What is the cause and can it be corrected via a filter? This was captured from a Panasonic PV-S4566 to a Pyro AV Link.

Hard to tell how bad it is from a still - can you give us a few seconds ?

Personally, I'd just go and buy the DVD.

Chroma noise.

Chroma noise.

I tried a chroma filter in VirtualDub but as a lowered the red values it just seemed to remain. Maybe I just don't understand the filter settings that well. This part is new to me.

I actually have this DVD. I'm just wondering how to deal with this output effect from this VCR.

Looks like Y/C delay issues. Chroma is delayed right vs. luminance.

Note the green spill into the pink sweater on the left and the fresh tone spill into the collar on the right.

Even if you get the chroma centered on luminance, VHS has very little chroma bandwidth (~500KHz) vs. DVD (~1.75MHz) so the color will be more smeared for VHS.

Try the VHS filter in VirtualDub. It allow adjustment of the chroma phase, and has spacial and temporal filters to reduce the noise.

To fix this you need to be in YCbCr color space so that CbCr can be shifted left vs Y.

That's what the VHS filter does. Obviously, working in a program that can handle all filtering in YUV is preferable (AVISynth for example) but the OP mentioned VirtualDub.
