 From the other thread referring to

http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2007/01/20/windows-vista
-content-protection-twenty-questions-and-answers.aspx

"  In the case of HD optical media formats such as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray,
the constraint requirement is 520K pixels per frame (i.e., roughly
960x540), which is still higher than the native resolution of content
distributed in the DVD-Video format.  We feel that this is still yields a
great user experience, even when using a high definition screen."

   They identify a trigger point of 520K pixels.  Even translating with a
K=1024, it doesn't quite match the 415000 number.
