Convert & deinterlace HDV footage.

I want to edit some HDV footage and some footage taken off a DVD. I think I've learnt enough that I need to convert the footage into a different format first, what format? Also should I be de-interlacing the footage or will AE take care of that for me? I plan on putting the footage onto youtube and DVD, so one is non-interlaced and the other is interlaced. I wasn't sure which line of thought is correct,
1. Leave it in interlaced format and let AE sort and keep track of everything, and their will be no loss in quality from de-interlacing. It will be perfect for the DVD...
2. AE and everything will maybe work better with a progressive video, when doing lots of effects including time remaping stuff, etc.
In either case, what is the best way to do what I want, convert the footage and de-interlace if required. I recall spending hours in the past trying to find a decent de-interlacer. Does anyone know if it is possible to use the VLC media player de-interlacer( or something similar)? From what I recall nothing I've done comes even close to giving the deinterlacing it provides in real time.
So what software/plugin do I want to use, what codec, etc?
For reference the footage is skydiving footage shot with a sony HC3. I'll also be editing footage from a DVD, so I'm not sure if that will just use the same software just different settings or something different.
Thanks
(Not sure on the rules on cross posts, but I didn't get any helpful replies in the AE forum).
