just for your information the effect you're trying to create is called cepiatone which was named after cepia which I believe was the name of the developing chemical used at the time... over the years film chemicaly treated with this turned slightly brown which gives that "old time" effect.

Ok, if you want Sepia tone, many programs have an option to mess with the hue, some have presets, DV has a little setting of sepia to tint all the footage of a scene, it doesn't make it lok that old though, it just gives it an odd tint.
