VLC media player for Windows Troubleshooting • Deinterlacing to a lossless output format?



I have some AVI files which were originally Betamax videotapes. Their MediaInfo says 720×576 pixels 25 fps, video codec Sony dvsd 4:2:0 lossy interlaced, audio PCM. Overall bit rate 30 Mb/s. I’ve been experimenting with using VLC Yadif to deinterlace these videos prior to editing them. Hence I wanted a lossless output format. But the VLC GUI on windows 7 doesn’t seem to have any lossless output format. The best I can find in the drop-down convert menu is H264+MP4 for 1080p, and then change the resolution back to 720×576 and up the bit rate to about 6000 kbps (anything less is visibly degraded).

Does VLC on windows 7 have any lossless output formt?
May be if I used the command line interface? But documentation on that is patchy (e.g. the command

Code:

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --help

produces no output.
