SD to HD and Deinterlacing

After a year or so of seraching various forums for this issue, I've finally decided to post a new topic. I want to know the best way to upscale SD to HD and deinterlace.

I'm a seasoned Vegas user and know how to deinterlace my video when needed. I also understand how to render an HD file from SD footage. I'm curious, though, on if there is a way to do these things with better quality results than from the Vegas way of doing them, such as third party software.

It seems that the plugin software I have found are not compatible with Vegas such as Red Giant and Topaz Labs. Anyone know of other solutions?

Thanks.

AviSynth's TDeint plugin. Does motion-compensated (mo-comp) deinterlacing i.e. chases after moving pixels and "grabs them". Can even be told (mode 1) to turn 50i into 50p. Vegas won't recognize ".avs" files directly but VFAPI can act as go-between (pseudo AVI file). DgDecode etc. can get Mpeg-type footage (Z1, EX) into it. Care needed in Vegas when using 50p though http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=656368
