You cannot convert one to the other. HDMI is digital, and has built-in Digital Rights Management (copy protection). Component is analog and has no protection. Some upper model surround receivers can 'up convert' component to HDMI, but will not allow HDMI sources to play on a TV with only component video inputs.
No, the HCD-FC8 does not have a HDMI output. Its DVD player does not support 720p or 1080i upscaling through the component video output, either. The best you will be able to get with this model is 480p resolution through the component video output.
You will need a converter box. It isn't as simple as a cable to convert one to the other. There are many on the market, Google Component Video to VGA converter.
s-Video is pretty much a dead standard. You should use it only if your tv does not have component video or HDMI.
No it won't. The converters are complex devices that process a signal to convert from one form to another. Each device has a designated input and output and they will not operate in any other way.
Yes and No.If I understand the question correctly, you want to connect your cable box to your HDTV via HDMI, your DVR via component cable (Red, Green and Blue RCA connectors), and your VCR via component cables. Your HDTV should accept various video inputs - HDMI, component, and composite (the yellow RCA connector). Most argue that the HDMI connection will provide the best quality video. Next in quality is component video. Last is composite video. Your cable box may or may not have an HDMI connection. If it does and you subcribe to HD channels from your cable provider, then definitely use HDMI to connect to the cable box. If you have another HDMI input available on your TV, then connect it to the DVR (if the DVR has the HDMI output). Your VCR will likely have to be connected via composite cable. It's a crappy signal but VCR don't provide a great signal to begin with. Most VCRs only offer a composite (at best) output, anyway.
No, you cannot convert HDMI (digital) into component video (analog), or extract the audio in analog form. Both devices must be HDMI to permit a connection.
There are converters that go from HDMI to Composite or Component video with audio.
It allows you to connect component cables into a HDMI connector/cable on the tv set.
HDMI delivers a better picture quality and better sound quality over component cables.
HDMI is by far the best. and S-Video is better than the VIDEO connection.
You can't. HDMI is digital. RCA is analog (component or composite).
Yes -- HDMI is essentially DVI -- there are adapters to convert between the two.
Yes,it has the option for use as a computer monitor and has Video Interface, Component, composite, HDMI, S-Video. HDMI Ports , 3 ports
There are a few different sources on the internet where one can find a HDMI vs. Component video. Some examples can be found on YouTube and also on a more specialized websited named TechHive.

HDMI gives a potentially higher signal quality than component video - but whether you will get higher picture quality depends on the quality of your input signal. Blu ray needs HDMI, but anything at 720i or lower will get by on component.
This video connection is the one to use if there is no HDMI jack. It is much better quality than the standard yellow Video jack.
