one thing that concerns me slightly - ringing in the DV codec. even if the white pixel is fixed there'll still be the mosquito noise that it caused surrounding it. i think a filter could even handle this if it's clever enough and DV specific (there'll be a fair idea about where the mosqiuto noise will occur seeing as the pixel never moves).
Yes, RemoveDeadPixels is very fast. It doesn't contain code for deringing, though. On the other hand, I expect the bitrate to be high enough such that ringing isn't a visible problem. For instance, my Canon Powershot S1 needs over 100 MB for 1 minute (mjpeg 640x480@30 fps).
