Deinterlace video slow motion?

I haven't tried it yet, but some of my videos have slow motion that was made by doubling or tripling the frames/fields or however they did it. Definitely not with a higher frame rate and played back...

More or less. I still had about a 5 minute capture from testing brightness/contrast settings with the histogram . There's a nice fade to black pretty shortly after that clip I uploaded so it may not...

No macrovision I don't think. It's an instructional video that came with a knitting gadget. And it just appeared, definitely wasn't there the first few tests.

If it's damage would it be visible...

It just showed up today though. I've got a couple of samples in the encoding help thread from a couple days ago when I did the first 5 minutes and that capture seemed fine. Luckily I still have that...

Is this VHS tape degrading?

The tape I've been using for testing is now having lines and tearing at the top for the first 30 seconds or so. I want to say I've only done about 10 captures of the first couple of minutes after...

Right, so this is where I get confused. Some recommend not cropping and masking instead and leaving the resolution at 720x480. I understand the 4k upscaling for YT bitrate, correct?

First VHS capture done, now what?

I'm sure this has been beat to death and I've read a lot on it also, but I'm still a bit lost.

I haven't actually captured anything yet. I've been clearing boxes and making room for a work area but I should be able to test by the end of the week. Most of the tapes are commercial from the 80s...
