Gosh. If you knew you had ugly noisy analog video and you'd have to do a lot of cleanup with Avisynth and ffmpeg and re-encoding, why did you capture to lossy compression-riddled DV????? Everybody knows that lossless is the way to go for this kind of work.

Too late now. You'll get plenty of answers and solutions, but you sure made it tough on yourself.
Try FixChromaBeeding for starters to dull some of that red while you're still in YUV color. Then ChromaShift and MergeChroma(aWarpSharp2(depth=30)), for starters. That will still leave you with a way to go, but it's a beginning. Capturing noisy analog to noisy DV only added more noise than you started with.
