No, you can do it the other way around, though.
HDMI and DVI are both interfaces that have specific cables and both support HD video. Component and composite both refer to methods of encoding information to represent a moving image and they are not types of cable. Equipment will often have connectors for composite or component inputs and outputs but the type of connector and cable used can vary from one item to another. However, to answer the test question that has been used as this question, HDMI and DVI support digital video data including HD video. Component specifies a signal format that can be digital or analog and also supports HD video. Composite is a format for a single encoded signal that supports standard definition only.
Component cables do not carry audio signals. However, you will find that they are bundled with audio cables most of the time. These are usually cheap products, varying from about 5 to 10 dollars. Don't be fooled by "gold plated" or any metal plated cables, because they all work the same, without loss of quality for cheaper ones.
If the DVD player doesn't have COMPONENT connectors, you will have to use a input on the TV that has RCA input connectors.
In a set of cables with red, black (or white) and yellow cables, the yellow cable is a composite video cable.
Component (red-green-blue) 3 wire RCA will always have a superior picture.
Component caries a better picture but you will need 2 extra cables for the audio.
A splice is usually two rope ends joined together to form a longer rope. A Y splice is three rope ends are joined together to form a Y shape. The same can be said for connecting three electrical or component cables.
Multi strand cables that can be spliced include unshielded and control cables, shielded signal and control cables, and 1000 volt cables. Special kits to splice these types of cables are sold by companies like 3M.
There are five different types of TV cables one could use for their system. These are component video cables, composite cable, coxial RF cable, s-video cable, DCI and HDMI cables.

Monoprice has the best price on composite video cables.
Composite Video connections are unable to transmit a HD signal. They are on HDTV's for the purpose of connecting older sources, think VCR, that do not have the newer connections like HDMI or component cables.
Composite and Component cables use an RCA connector and a sheilded cable. Other cables that might be used include S-Video (not common these days), HDMI, DVI and (in Europe) SCART.

Component video is carried on three wires, normally referred to as YUV or Y, Pb, Pr. The Y component carries the luminance information - the brightness. The other two carry color information. Connecting a component signal to a composite input will be difficult as composite uses a single connector that carries brightness and color signals on the same wire. If you connect the Y of the component signal to the composite input, you will see a monochrome image. With a very, very few exceptions, analog component video is limited to standard resolution, so the highest will be 480 line (North American) or 576 line (European). Composite connections handle only standard definition and there is no composite standard for HD video.
Yes. You can connect them with composite, component or HDMI cables. For the best results, use the HDMI cable, if your projector has that type of input.
Using the composite cables (yellow, white, red) that are provided with the Wii. You also have the ability to purchase a component cable (red, green blue & red white) and connect them to the TV accordingly. Some newer HDTV's may not have a composite input so you may need the component cable. Some may also have the green component input double as the yellow composite input. I have seen this primarily on Samsung TV's.
