        "chroma ghosting" or "chroma smearing" is what I used to describe it
        when I saw it.

        You probably have enabled the "chroma denoising" filters in the 
        ADVC300.  That, as I discovered, is a huge mistake.  Canopus may make
        a superb DV codec but the chroma filters in the -300 are wretched and
        smear/ghost the chroma to the point of the video being unwatchable.

        Turn off the chroma filters.  The luma filters appeared to be OK but
        even then I would use 'minimal' settings or even turn them off and
        use yuvdenoise instead.
