I would say that it's more like transferring from the negative directly to video, and then finishing from the videotape instead of going back to the film. And, quite frankly, that's exactly how virtually every episodic television show on the air is finished, and has been for 20 years.

One thing that's clear to me is that those who claim that it's necessary to go back to RAW files to produce a good result for video or digital distribution have not, for the most part, ever worked in a professional post facility.
