You pick the colors? How does any software know which colors to
use? ;-)

Freeware would probably mean rotoscoping. you would need to
break the video down into individual frames and colour in.

180 seconds X 25 PAL frames per second (29 ntsc) = 4500
pictures 5220 (ntsc).
and create a new mpeg with TMPGenc and the sound from the
original mpeg. If there are parts of the footage that change
seldom to no change at all you could get away with a
cooloured in mask over the top. and a bit less colouring in
to do.

you should try over at rec.video.desktop for a better
answer. they could recommend some Off topic software. like
'after effects' or other.
