Yup, video is clean and 100% linear in the tone curve and it shows all the contrast, color and grain problems from
prints. And besides telecine devices hate high contrast material like reversal films
and prints. A lot of the dynamic range and suble nuances are lost
when telecining such material. It is possible,but you wouldn't get the best
results.

And as for film scanners,they can't scan prints at all. Their sensors are calibrated for the specific
range of color negative film.And they are made to simulate how print film "sees" negative film.
Imagine how print film would "see" print film if you wanted to copy print film to print film. It would blow up the contrast and give
you ugly unusable images.Same would be with scanning print film.

All in all,you need to use interpositives (or internegatives) for video transfers to get
nice clean colors as you see them on all the new DVD transfers.
