HandBrake deinterlacing settings?
 

I'm trying to encode some lossless vhs avi files to x264/mkv on HandBrake and was wondering if I had to do anything other than put yadif for deinterlace and bob for preset? The interlaced on my footage is top field first so is there any numbers I have to put in interlace detection for that, or no?

Here's how I have it - https://i.imgur.com/f7q9mAJ.png

It's better than Yadif for AA (anti-alias), but still worse than QTGMC.
Yadif leaves % of jaggies, not pleasant to watch.

Handbrake is limiting compared to Hybrid. Your hands are really tied.

The ONLY thing that I like about Handbrake are the NLmeansCL NR presets. I really wish selur would add some to Hybrid, but he got bitchy last time I mentioned it to him. Hybrid has NLmeansCL2, KNLmeansCL, and others, but you have to alter the granular settings on your own.

Thanks for the advice! Didn't know that about yadif, interesting. And so you're saying it will automatically detect that it's top field first? Reason I ask is because this guy on YouTube had to type in numbers manually (15:00:-1:01) in HandBrake but it is from a few years back, https://youtu.be/UkKaVyx1ukU?t=120.
