Will video quality transmitted from HDMI to VGA suffer?

I'm wanting to connect a dvd player(hdmi) to a ceiling mounted projector(vga). Will the conversion degrade the quality of the picture? The two devices are about 30 feet apart, so I figure, get the shortest hdmi cable I can, connect it to the conversion box and run the rest of the length with vga. Would this length deteriorate the signal?

Answer
It will work, but why don't you just use the component output to VGA? No conversion, no loss of quality.

How can I connect a wii and DVD player to a projector mounted in the ceiling?

We have a home theater in our basement. We would like to have the ability to hook up our DVD player and Wii (or other console) via component cables in one location on the wall near the surround sound system. What is the best way to do this?

I have been looking at component wall plates and component cables. I would like to be able to leave both connected and switch between them. Also, would like for the connection to look nice in the wall while being as cheap as possible.

Thank you!

But what I don't see is In-Wall switches you walk up to....

I see mostly shelf /rack mounting.....

And if I HAD the choice....I'd go with HDMI and not the lossy Component output cables

Or what I'd do is use a video compensator just AFTER the switch and before the run to the projector....
