VCR menu visibility before/during VHS capture?

Is there any free computer program through which I can see the menu of the VCR*(e.g. JVC)?
* Generally speaking: the video signal that the VCR currently presents.

Just turn the OSD on, but it will be captured with the video. Though I didn't exactly understand your question.

If you mean the "clean display" of menu video that the JVC VCR is sending to the ouput while not playing a tape, is not a problem of a "computer program", but of the generic capture card that is not able to synch that non-standard video.

Some sort of "TBC rebuilding the synch" may help.

Which model JVC?
Which aspect of the various menus that VCR can display?

Menu is typically presented for setting up/configuring the VCR, and for programming the VCR to record.
Operating mode is often seen as a brief overlay on the video output when playback mode changes, but it depends on the make and model.

Or are you looking for a computer program that can be used to control the VCR?
