If it was on film, then you had the fidelity to spare to upscale it in HD the normal way (by re-digitizing it)

Yep. It's the reason The Original Series and The Next Generation got HD remasters, but Voyager and DS9 didn't. The latter two were shot on digital and so it wasn't possible, while the first two were shot on film.
