DVD scart to HDMI - am I barking up the wrong tree?
I have a DVD with scart connection I need to connect to a HDMI socket on tv
the DVD has three sockets on output ...Red, Green & Blue
the Adaptor I have has three sockets - Red, Yellow & White
Am I wasting my time?
Answers appreciated

Red and white are audio left and right. The yellow is for composite video.
You need a SCART to composite and audio lead and set the DVD to output composite to the SCART connection. (SCART can feed individual colours if the receiving device can use them)
The RGB connectors on the DVD are to feed individual colours to the TV or other device. This connection allows a better quality picture and the use of progressive scan output. I use this to connect my Sony HDD/DVD to the Sony Bravia.

Re: DVD scart to HDMI - am I barking up the wrong tree?
Actually I'd suggest this. It's a proper component to HDMI adapter
So that's the RGB video connections plus red and white for audio
Portta YPbPr Component + R L to HDMI Converter v1.3 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0088HO1..._FRWYBb4R6CBC5
And then you'd need an appropriate component cable between the DVD player and converter
AmazonBasics Component Video Cable with Audio - 1.83 meters https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01D5H8C..._PTWYBb57P8RT5

TBH the best option is just upgrade the Blu-ray/DVD and give the old one to the kids.

It’s fairly obvious from the OP that he was hoping to wire it up using kit he already has if at all possible - suggesting he go out and buy a new DVD player is unlikely to be helpful.
