are there any dvd players that can upconvert with output to component video? If not are there any separate box converters of HDMI to component video.

Few DVD player will upconvert via componant. They aren't supposed to. That said, some out of China do-Neuneo comes to mind.

That's just what I want. Thank you.
What are you trying to do?Conversion of HDMI to component isn't what I would regard as 'upconversion' and anything with an HDMI output that I've seen also has component outputs so you shouldn't need a separate box converter for that conversion.
There are lots of DVD players with component outputs.
If you're talking about upscaling, then the odds are that unless you can find a player that can upscale to the native pixel format of your TV, you're better off letting the TV do the upscaling from NTSC/PAL anyway because that means you'll only have one upscale operation. Using the player to upscale to something close to the TV's format and feeding that to the TV means the TV is going to do a final upscale anyway and that gives you 2 upscaling operations. My experience, admittedly with a relatively new model HDTV, is that I'm better off letting the TV do all the upscaling, and even the de-interlacing. Doing things in a single operation produces results I prefer to what I get when I let the DVD player upscale to 1280 x 720 and de-interlace, then allow the TV to upscale to 1366 x 768.
