De-interlacing Video to best of quality Help, Raw Video
Time

Hello and thank you for anyone reading. So I know they’re are so many programs that can de-interlace and so many how to guides how to convert and do so but I suppose I’ll always question if I’m ever converting correctly so I was wondering if anyone could help me get on a good start on the right path in preserving media. I’m trying to de-interlace a .mkv file that was converted from a .Lds file. The output file results are below.

Video

So back to the many programs… If I plan on editing the video also later like in coloring and cuts/combine, what should I be doing? Should I be using Resolve and learn to output the file lossless or Handbrake with certain settings like EEDI2 or Hybrid with QTGMC, very slow, bob or even see what virtual dub can do. My last guess would maybe be something like ai “Topaz” to de-interlace while keeping the same video size and not upscaling. Thanks for any advise
