It appears that you are lossy re-encoding the same file multiple times. Each time, it makes the video quality a little bit worse. It's best to capture and edit in HuffYUV or another non-lossy codec,...

I find deinterlacing necessary even when playing the file locally, otherwise I get motion artifacts and my video players play at 30 frames per second instead of 60 fields per second (NTSC).

You won't have to set your proc amp controls, just capture once and choose your proc amp settings later. Software TBC, comb filter, NR and so on will be at least as good as the best hardware money...

I think 1080p for DV is overkill, but Apple Compressor is pretty good at deinterlacing and upscaling DV to 720p. H.264 is fine as a distribution format but always archive the original capture file!
