I suspect you haven't configured the Video Producer Service to use PAL
and saved the configuration.  Or maybe you are setting it to PAL
directly in VIC, which it'll forget the next time VIC is started. See
the following on how to configure a Video Producer:

you might also like to increase the bandwidth and quality sliders to see
if that makes any difference.


Cheers,
Doug
