What is the best way to deinterlace and upscale films from DVDs using the Dione and Proteus models

Hello.
It depends on the footage you process, but most films are produced in 24p (23.976fps progressive).
Later DVDs are often recorded in 24p, but early DVDs may be telecine and recorded in 30i (29.97fps interlaced).
For DVDs recorded in 30i, Inverse Telecine(30i → 24p) is required.

However, the current TVAI does not have an Inverse Telecine function.
Dione differs from Inverse Telecine because it is like bob deinterlacing in AI.

There are several ways to do Inverse Telecine.

1: Save the inverse telecine losslessly in another encoder and upscale it in TVAI.
2: Run TVAI’s FFMPEG in the CLI and execute FFMPEG’s built-in inverse telecine filter.
3: Write Avisynth or VaporSynth scripts to perform inverse telecine and have TVAI process them.
