You really are better off going to a post house that offers standards conversion or a standards conversion service. They have dedicated hardware that does it in real time.
The other way is to find a rental house that will rent you a PAL deck and a "scan converter". If you have a lot of tapes, that may be a cheaper way to go.
If you are in the LA area, go to
www.411publishing.com/cahners/index.asp. Look under Americas >USA >California > Equipment & Supplies > Video Equipment & Facilities.
Here is one place I have rented from. They have always given me good service:
