Pinnacle Studio8 and above, at the least, will do it. You can also put it
back on tape if that's part of your project. AFAIK it works like Mike
suggests so heir's a limit to how much variation you can get. It will end up
being a bigger file too. A bundled version may not be full featured.

If it's not something you've already shot and your CC allows try increasing
the shutter speed. My PV-DV53 recommends manual 1\350. Sport mode may/may
not be the same.
