my guess, not long. With AACS in Blu-ray and
HD-DVD that has a feature that let's every studio
dictate on the disk what will come out of the
analog output (i.e. they could decide full HD
or restricted and possibly none)
Down-rezzing will slow down, if not kill, any hopes for early wide spread acceptance of any new HD format.
I do remember reading an article though a few weeks back where a Fox exec stated that down-rezzing was not going to be an option on their discs. So hopefully no studio is dumb enough to try and do it.
