Connecting AV to Component

[Highlander]

Hi,

I have 3 devices

1. DSTV
2. DVD
3. Multimedia player

DSTV has only AV (and RF - yuk!) and SCART
DVD only has AV and S-Video
Multimedia player has AV and VGA

My TV (LG LCD) only has 2 AV inputs - one of which also has S-Video

It also has 2 component, HDMI and VGA

So a couple of questions:

I obviously don't have enough AV inputs on the TV for all the devices, and the S-Video overrides the one AV so can't do that.

I don't want to use an AV selector as thats now another device. And obviously no-one wants to watch DSTV via RF.

Is there any cable that can convert AV to component or to HDMI that is reasonably priced

Or will the media player quality be the same using VGA to the TV? I don't have a VGA cable (only got a laptop) so can't test right now.

Any advice would be HUGELY appreciated.

What is AV? The normal RCA composite?

Yep.... Red, White and Yellow.... yellow being the video.

EDIT: Can I connect the DSTV Scart to the component of my TV... I'm trying to understand all the ins and outs of different SCARTS and components, but doesn't all make sense to me.

Red , white and yellow is composit. Component is Pr,Pb,Y. This is HD or higher definition.
HDMI is best.
If you don't have HDMI, then use component.

From prophesy forum:
Composit and S-Video ---- Avoid if possible.
Scart ---- Good
Component ----- Better
HDMI ----- Best
