How to deinterlace ATSC MTS and save result as H.264?

I'm using VLC v2.1.2 (Intel-64) in OS X Mavericks (v10.9.1). I have a DVR that records
ATSC digital-TV broadcasts to hard disk as
MPEG Transport Stream (.mts) files. The video streams are typically 480i or 1080i. I would like to deinterlace these with the Yadif (2x) filter, then save the result as H.264, but I haven't been able to figure out how. Is it possible with the GUI, or is the command line required?

Yes, turning on the deinterlacer is elementary (Video menu > Deinterlace submenu > "Automatic" or "On"). But as far as I can tell, that only deinterlaces the video for live viewing in VLC; it does not modify the source file or save the deinterlaced video stream. What I want is to take the deinterlaced video and save it in H.264 format. That's what I'm asking for help with.

You might be better off using Handbrake for that kind of conversion. That's what it's designed for, while VLC is more of a media player with some conversion tools added.

No, I meant on the transcoding interface...
