We will need to know your project settings and your export settings.

what setting would you need to know exactly so i can give you everything you need?

Your project settings: DV NTSC? 480i?
Your export settings: What codec are you using? What bitrate?

DV PAL, my source is made up of 3 files, 2 is SD 780×540 and 1 is HD 1440×1080. Export as uncompressed AVI 16:9 PAL 25fps

So, by blurry, you don’t mean interlacing lines correct?
The settings look fine to me, although you will get a loss of quality due to all the scaling going on.
Could you post a frame export pic for us?

no its not interlacing, but ive lost that crisp definition and also all the shots ive done any work on(crop or colour correct) have come out fuzzy. kind of like what i see without my glasses on 🙂
this may be abit of a silly thing to ask, but i dont know how to post a frame export pic.. could you please tell me how

File > Export > Frame
You will surely lose the detail on the high def clips.
I’ll tell you when I see it.

Vince is correct that you will probably loose some quality with HD. Export as H.264 (only in CS3) will maintain a better quality. However, I guess what you need to know is what would you final audience be, TV, HDTV, or computer? It may not be as bad as you thought.

I believe that you are experiencing a lower field/upper field export issue. HDV is upper field first, SD is lower field first. Check your settings – you mixed field orders in your edit using SD and HD footage. When you export your “master” program in SD (lower field first) but you select to export HDV (upper field first) you will get a blurred result. Or visa-versa.

I agree with Perry. If the final playback will be on a TV, it may look fine on it, yet look messed up on a standard computer monitor. Give it a test run to see…
