A small predicament...

What do more experienced editors do?

They don't post their dilemma in a public forum.

This is both a smartass answer and your way forward.

I'll be the weird one and use the DVD. low bitrate and HD is really stupid right now imo. (kinda' like DDR3, give it time)

DVD - this is snapped from the dvd

HD - this is snapped from the HD one.

I'm pretty certain there's no way in hell I could upscale the DVD to the same quality (it's not the resolution itself as it is the image sharpness)

Anyway, thanks for your take on this, especially Trythil's advice

Actually I'm almost positive with proper filtering you can. I'm also pretty sure the 'HD' source is just upscaled anyway, there certainly doesn't seem to be any more fine detail in the HD one at least.

Urk, yes, I don't think there's even any choice left here

If you bought the DVD, but you have the HD, it's logical to use the HD, no? I mean, you already payed for that, because you bought the DVD, so I don't think it is worth spending time trying to make the DVD look like the HD.

Except I don't think it is HD. If it was I would expect more fine detail in things like the background writing and stuff. There really isn't an more detail there, it's just sharper which is a filtering issue.

So, are we talking about a DVD and a HD or not?

I think that thing is a HD, because the quality was higher, but I'm just a Noob, so...

Just go with the one you think you can make look the best and/or is more convenient. Ya own the dvd so I don't see any problems with it.
