Both versions of The Room aren't available, just the standard one. I could be mistaken, but I think the actual movie itself uses footage from both formats depending on which version Wiseau thought looked best. I could be wrong about that, but I remember someone telling me that. I'm not sure if they filmed both 35mm and HD simultaneously, or if they actually shot two distinct versions of each scene.

I remember reading about it sometime ago, I wish I could find the source to quote directly. Apparently the crew was given one (?) film camera to shoot the movie and one HD video camera to shoot backstage, as customary. We can assume Tommy didn't understand about the backstage part or simply did not care, and just shot the movie with both cameras, possibly alternating one with the other.
