It sounds like the client specifically asked the OP to shoot in HD and
archive the tapes - presumably the client will want a HD version of
this video at some point, otherwise why would he be so specific in his
instructions? Presumably the client is being charged more for shooting
in HD vs. shooting in SD, and is probably paying extra for the
archiving as well.
The ethical thing to do is to come clean now. Tell the client the
truth - the SD DVD will probably be just fine, but any HD version is
going to be seriously compromised. If the client is paying extra for
the HD, he should at the very least get a refund for that portion of
the price and be charged only the SD rate.
