Input video changes to SECAM_D instead of PAL on amarectv

Hi all
I have this weird problem after upgrading to WIN10 from WIN7.

I'm using amarectv with AverMedia C039 capture card.
The Video Decoder suddenly changes to SECAM instead of PAL.
The colors are changing from normal to blue-purple lines.

Even on VirtualDUB when going to Capture Pin I see SECAM, I change it to play, play a tape, then it goes back to SECAM after few min.
Is there any way to set it up ALWAYS to PAL_B?

Reinstall the drivers of the card specifying PAL while doing that

I did, Never asked me for PAL or input type.
Just exe file which installs files.

To confirm, it's changing during a capture?

You could try setting up the capture settings with GraphStudio (open it after you have AmarecTV or VDub open); it may "hold" the settings.

Using Graphstudio is a straightforward setup; I have written a guide for it here.

You can also try a reset of the Amarec settings but I don't think that will help as you're also having trouble with VDub.

Yes exactly.
The video is ok then after some time I see blue-purple colors. I stop the capture and see it's on SECAM settings.
I will try GraphStudio and update.
Thanks!

Well
I left it on, And it was Changed to SECAM again!
I see the colors, when the GraphStudio was open it showed PAL but when I notice changes in the color, I clicked on properties again and saw it is SECAM.

I can see it goes like that on some tapes when the signal is lost for 1-2 seconds, Like someone recorded different content on it, or another date. Then it happens.

Hmmm, that's weird. I'm stumped.

As a test force "Secam out" on your vcr rather than auto or pal/secam and see what happen

Are you sure it is not your VCR that is switching format? If you have a multi standard VCR set it manually to a format instead of Auto.
