We found a home made VHS tape with a precious memory of someone who
recently passed away and would like to capture a portion of the VHS to
a digital file.
My brother found his old JVC DR-MV150BJ VHS/DVD recorder but he can't
find the remote for it. Unfortunately the MV150B is pretty useless
without a remote and I doubt there will be a way to finalize a DVD
without it.
DVD playback isn't necessary. Is there a way my Windows 10 laptop
could read the DVD and extract the mpeg from one of the VOBs without finalization? Thanks.

This article suggests isobuster near the end of the article.
That's worth a try, just to get a folder named video_ts and
call it a day.

According to the info so far "Close Session" simply stops
the ability to write to the current session (of a multi-session
disc). Whereas, the claim is that "Finalize" writes the DVD menu structure, >to a recorded disc, to make it more convenient to play chapters in it
on a standalone device. Which almost sounds like an "Authoring" function.
Closing the session sounds like more than enough. While maybe extracting
the data (if isobuster doesn't complain) may be enough to avoid messing
up the disc. I presume some kinds of devices (like computers) can
deal with a disc without closing it. But the implication is, that
other devices might not be so willing to deal with an unclosed piece
of media.
I think I've tried to look for technical articles on this in the
past, and come up dry. Nobody seems to want to define it (like
someone with the skill set to write burner software).

If you can create the DVD, there are many programs that can rip the video >from the disc, such as "MakeMKV". The page below shows some of the more >popular options:

Alternatively, many video cards have audio/video inputs that would allow
you to skip the intermediate DVD step and capture the video directly from >your VHS player. Or you could buy a dedicated capture card and software.
However, for a one time task like this, it would probably be cheaper and >easier to just pay a service to convert the VHS tape to a digital file for >you. There are many companies online who do this, but I think even places >like Walmart do it these days (as far as I know, they send it out to
another processor).

There wasn't enough time to wait for 3rd party services. Unfortunately
the DVD tray didn't work so we abandoned that idea for a USB capture
device, which worked well after some post processing.
