Best way to bob deinterlace 8bit pixelated footage mixed with live action

[LaserBones]

What would be the best way to bob deinterlace this DVD that has 8bit pixelated game footage mixed with live action footage? I've been using QTGMC with the setting below but the game footage loses a lot of it's crisp pixelation.

QTGMC(TR0=2, TR1=2, TR2=1, Rep0=1, Rep1=0, Rep2=4, DCT=5, ThSCD1=300, ThSCD2=110, SourceMatch=3, Lossless=2, Sharpness=0.1, Sbb=0, MatchPreset="slow", NoiseProcess=2, GrainRestore=0.0, NoiseRestore=0.4, NoisePreset="slow", StabilizeNoise=false, NoiseTR=0, NoiseDeint="bob")

Try is to lowering "ThSCD1=300, ThSCD2=110," to maybe ThSCD1=200 (or lower).
(side note: I would also add some deflickering)

1.: QTGMC(Input=clip, Preset="Fast", InputType=0, TFF=False, TR2=0, SourceMatch=0, Lossless=0, TR0=2, TR1=2, Rep0=1, Rep1=0, Rep2=4, DCT=5, ThSCD1=200, ThSCD2=120, Sbb=0, NoiseProcess=2, GrainRestore=0.0, NoiseDeint="bob") + deflickering
2.: QTGMC(as 1.) but with EdiExt using DDD (Vapoursynth only https://github.com/pifroggi/vs_deepdeinterlace)

Ps.: Maybe also try bwdif instead of QTGMC.
PPs.: Applying CAS + SSIQ (for the rainbows) might also help with perceived 'crispyness' .

Thank you!

The quality of DDD is amazing. I'm trying to set it up with VS. I'm only familiar with Avisynth. I'm having a difficult time finding information on DDD. Could you please let me know the VS script you used for test_2.mp4 so I can attempt to better understand the script and syntax?

Using DDD requires an NVIDIA card and a broadly expanded Vapoursynth setup.
I doubt you will have much fun/success trying to set this up, but I'll post a script later.
