Why Ut Video? It really never took off, and has fallen out of favor. It has zero longevity for the long term, and will likely disappear from the interwebs eventually, as so many other codecs have in the past 30 years.
For true archives, I would only use
Huffyuv, Lagarith as 2nd choice. The
Huffyuv user base is large, and the codec has been continuously "kicked the can" by indy devs to work on new WinOS (even a few Mac and Linux at times), even though the codec itself hasn't been updated in 20 years (ain't broke, don't fix it).
Ut Video has some BS in Wikipedia about being "better compression" (Lagarith is better), but it mostly achieves that by high resource use, resulting in dropped frames. So for capturing, it's a no-go.

Explain.
VOB are "Video OBject" files from DVD-Video discs, and contain already-digital video. Note that VOB is not MPEG, it contains MPEG. You must properly extract the MPEG video, and audio, from the VOB. It has extra "stuff" that makes it not a video file, breaks editing and playback.

Good.
However, you're overlooking the most important aspect: the hardware.
- What VCR are you using?
- TBC?
- Capture card?
Those matter. You can make bad quality lossless video, because the incoming video was bad quality. Bad VCR, no TBC, lousy capture card.

Leave the master capture as native interlaced. You can deinterlace/crop/mask/etc a copy.

If you can use Avisynth, don't bother with Neat Video. Avisynth is a scalpel, NV is a rusty butter knife. It has gotten better over the years, but it's still behond the curve. It's mostly appealing to users that insists on a fancy whizbang GUI.

For VOBs I didnt like Premiere pro behavior

That's because it's confused. You didn't give it MPEG files. You gave a file that contains MPEG. It must be properly extracted before import. Do you still have the DVDs?
