Thanks for the info. Too bad the VCD isn't a more useful source. I guess it's back to waiting for a possible(?) 16mm scope print.

Because of the slightly de-focused RED and BLUE separations, the chromatic aberration correction will always have some color fringing (unless serious processing is applied to those color-seps to fix the fuzzed edges). Interesting that they look allot like edge-enhancement halo's.
While not perfect, the result is yet another improvement. This example is from the early paint program color correction test -- the later color correction in Avisynth / VirtualDub will, of course, look better:
