I know they won't be perfect, but they can be made to be pretty close.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just burn your LDs to DVD directly instead of taking all these extra middle steps?

It would and I have already done it. However, I was thinking about a couple of things. The first would be that most of the film would be digital and be cleaned up. The other would be that it would be progressive and that I wouldn't need to do an IVTC on it.

In truthfulness, I seriously doubt I follow through with it as it is a lot of trouble. I will probably redo mine from my LD's when the dual layered DVD Burners come out and prove themselves. They are supposed to come out later this year, but they will be expensive and it's going to take time for the media for them to be common.
