Tmpgenc: Software 'link'

The story of TMPGEnc begins in the late 1990s. The MPEG-2 format was exploding in popularity thanks to Video CDs (VCDs) and the nascent DVD standard. However, most encoding software at the time was either expensive, clunky, or produced blocky, artifact-ridden video.

You have boxes of MiniDV tapes, VHS-C cassettes, and old DVD recorders. You need to digitize, remove the head-switching noise (bottom of VHS frame), deinterlace, and output to H.265 for your Plex server. TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works is your best friend. Its "Deinterlace (Double-rate)" filter will turn your 60-field-per-second video into smooth 60fps progressive. tmpgenc software
