 	Not used much anymore, AFAIK.  It'll colorize your bios, maybe, 
but that's about it.

 	Not necessarily short, but clean, at least.  If it's proper 
impedance cable, you should be able to get away with it at that length 
without trouble.  Just keep the ends small (no 10cm runs of stripped coax 
cable inside the connector, etc).

 	If the signal attenuates some, it'll reduce the brightness a bit 
is all.

 	Now you have me worried... this whole setup is pure speculation on 
my part.  I've done a fair bit with monitors and 
interlace/hsync/vsync/csync/sync-on-green, but nothing on PAL or SCART. 
Hopefully it'll work.
