Scan them in.
...74% of the effort required...

Now take a LD scan...

Convert to black and white - use that as luminance data.

Great idea. It will work. Let me know when you've done steps one and two, and I'll help with the converting to B&W, making the LD cap, and using AviSynth to combine the luma and chroma.
