Should I use Wilbert's plugin or scharfis_brain's function?
I principle you can use both. But, scharfis said his one gives more pleasing results:

my method using edge directed interpolation using tomsmocomp (tdeint(mode=1) should work, too) has a better chroma definition on diagonales.

Which is faster?
Why don't you test this for us?

Quote:
which one keeps all of the original data intact?
Both.

Is ffdshow a better approach to decompressing? How good is it in terms of quality?
Nope. The idea with ffdshow was that you could let it deliver YV12. You shouldn't do that in case of NTSC (cause DV 4:1:1 is not supported in AviSynth). For PAL, we should change ConvertToYUY2, because DV-YV12 is different as MPEG2-YV12 (the one AviSynth uses). I guess I can add that in my plugin.

So, no benefits if you use ffdshow.
