Hold on. There will still be a lot of old composite junk around. Further, you only need a few transitors to generate a signal. Generating a 525 signal via 2032 computing equipment should be a cinch.
The problem is with later generation audio/video equipment: as technology moves on, it will be too complicated.
Consider this: as video and audio recording formats comes and go, the original audio formats will still allow the retrieving of content. The status of motionn picture 35mm film is in jeopardy. But I did read that the Library of Congress is still making 78 RPM recordings of the most important sounds of the past century.This is to ensure that many centuries from now, as technology evolves, at least the audio may be retrieved by simply spinning the disc and placing a pointed object in the groove.
