HandBrake

Ask them.

If you can't follow the CLI docs, you can set up a GUI preset, export it, and then import the preset into the CLI. Of course you're limited to GUI options this way.

They have their own support forums.

So many words spilled on the page, so little accomplished.

Regarding the options you're asking about, have you perused the decomb sourcecode yet? It should be readily apparent they're EEDI options, which will easily lead you to the EEDI documentation via Google.

Do the size/time math and enter that as your bitrate target.

Deinterlace is absolutely not moot when you have detelecine on, because content can be a mix of telecined and interlaced. And you may as well decomb because there can be some clean frames in there too.

No, no it's not. Mixed content exists.

Are you setting the audio defaults/selection settings, or just one-off encode settings before saving?

Are you selecting the preset before adding all titles to queue?

Nope, not at all. Cleanly telecined content and mixed content exists.

Yet another reason to use the CLI.

Without interlace detection, all frames are deinterlaced. Did you mean to write: "Without interlace detection, all frames are not deinterlaced"? If interlaced detection filter is not enabled and deinterlace filter is enabled, the deinterlace filter is applied to all frames. I would never do that. I...

No, if you have deinterlace default without interlace detection, all frames are deinterlaced.

A short shell script and the CLI
Yes.
Perhaps, if you have such an environment you're familiar with.
Of course.

Try linux, it generally has better performance with high core counts than windows.

HB uses some very well optimized libraries to get the most out of your CPU.

The release has historically been roughly annually.

If you care about minor point differences in libs you should be using the nightly.

Inept on a good day, just wanting to skip to the best settings for their situation that they haven't really described.

If you're really trying to do anything like this and keep your sanity, run away from the angry spaghetti GUI use the CLI. You can specify all possible tracks and HB will use what exists. Why not bypass HB totally and use ffmpeg directly, eh? I prefer the HB GUI. It allows me to specify all possible...

Speaking broadly, the defaults are much more sensible than pushing settings you don't understand to one extreme end of the scale. Even RF 22 seems low for 8K, you've got a lot of pixels to work with and the TV isn't making your eyes any better. But see how you like the result. In general I would adv...

I am still puzzled why MakeMKV can process the DVD directly and Handbrake cannot.

MakeMKV is intended for ripping encrypted disks.

HB is neither intended to nor has any interest in doing so.

It's mostly for epeen, IMO.

With an output so large, why not just keep the source and avoid the quality loss?

If MakeMKV isn't working, you may have a hardware problem.

Wow even less info than your reddit post.
