It might be easier to just get an input switcher. I don't have a particular model in mind, but it shouldn't be very expensive at all (<$20) and you could easily get several more composite inputs.
Works great if you only have one device on at a time (I have my game consoles and VCR plugged into it, then the output from that goes to the main receiver/AV switch). But if you want multiple things on at once and to switch between them with a remote (or do picture-in-picture), you'll need another solution.
You can get transcoders that will go from composite->component (and/or upscale to HD while you're at it), but they cost (significantly) more. It's not just a matter of making the plugs match; it's a different type of encoding on the signals.
you could use a rca y splitter (1 male->2 female) if you just need to connect one more device. Then w/e device is turned on will be the one that will be displayed. You should be able to pick up an Acoustic Research one for less than $6
