Hmm.. not sure if it's possible. An external device must be connected to the PC somehow, and high-speed connections such as USB2.0 and IEEE-1394 can only do ~400Mbps. Not sure off the top of my head what the datarate of uncompressed PAL video is, but I'd expect it to be more than that.

That said, take a look at the TerraTec Grabster AV 250. It has no hardware encoder, yet claims it can do full res PAL and NTSC capture.
