Component via scart?
Is this possible, if so which is better, straight component, or component via scart, which would obviously take care of the audio as well

Two different signals though:
Scart is usually RGB - Red Green and Blue (or composite/S-video)
Component, by definition does mean to carry each signal seperately, BUT component video is usually separated to YPbPr - Luminance, Blue, Red.
Two very diferent types of signal (for starters, one can carry 1080p High Def (non-HDCP) whilst RGB Scart is stuck at 576 and PAL timings.
To confuse matters, some DVD players (usually American Market) can also output YPbPr on the scart (as RGB and Scart isn't an adopted standard in the states for TV ). My old "Yelo" branded DVD player could do that, which the TV didn't take to kindly too when it was activated.
Anyhoo, YPbPr via component is better than Scart RGB.

but given that the signal will only be a 480i as opposed to 480p i,ll go for the scart route. and i dont have any more component cable slots free at the mo.
the other way is to change the DVD for a HDMI output model , which would free the component slots up
