Toilet fill valve dripping when almost full - can it be adjusted out?

With one of our toilets, when the cistern is about 95% refilled the stream of water becomes just a drip, which goes on effectively forever since it'll never get to the completely full mark before someone else needs to flush. It's just loud enough to be annoying at night when the house is quiet.

If you lift the ball, the drip stops.

Is there an adjustment somewhere on the valve that will let me fix that?

The adjustment screw, is top / centre in the photo, before the video begins. It will need screwing in a bit (clockwise), to lower the fill level. It looks as if there might be a plastic locknut on the screw, undo that first a little, to allow the screw to be turned.
