If it helps keep the filesizes low while preserving quality I don't see what the problem is with using DVD sources.
I think the problem with DVD sources that many people are suggesting is not the fact that using DVD sources is bad to begin with. It's probably the fact that most people doing this are doing it so they can get recognition for their channel by having leechers go oogle-eyed over their "DVD" release. There are rare occasions when someone decided that they really wanted to work on the series and they liked the series enough that they bought the R2 discs.
