HDMI to composite converter – 208 days old

[Warren]

My PC has an HDMI out and my DVR has only composite in and they are 20 feet apart.
Question: what's the best arrangement?
1. a short HDMI cable to the converter and a long composite cable to the DVR or
2. a long HDMI cable to the converter and a short composite cable to the DVR

(the DVR has a componet out to the TV. It is also a burner.)

Just an uneducated thought. But I would think that the digital HDMI signal would hold up better over the longer distance than the composite.
