I use a TV tuner/video capture card (Hauppauge WinTV-D) and DScaler to display output from my PAL Commodore 128D either composite or Y/C. It works quite well actually. I did try a cheapy PAL/NTSC converter from eBay but any horizontal movement is terrible since it doesn't do any framebuffering/pulldown necessary to handle the difference in refresh rates. Dscaler displays just about perfect (although the Hauppauge card introduces a bit of noise in the video).
