I'm getting a nice picture, just no color.
PAL PVR350 and my USB-Live2 - both beautiful B&W picture from my Philips VR-1100 VCR(JVC Clone with TBC). The Philips has a menu setting for MESECAM output but....that's not helping either.
I have one more (Panasonic NV-HD620) VCR to try but it is SCART and RCA output only....so S-Video.
I have a sneaking feeling that if I use a fully-pinned SCART cable to my old SD television....I'm going to get color.....but as it sits right now "capturing" SECAM with PAL equipment is only slightly better than capturing NTSC with PAL equipment.

AFAIK your VCR must have a Secam output setting AND your capture device also needs a Secam input setting.
Add to that the various versions of Secam - the French one is different to the Russian one as is MESECAM (ME = Middle East)
Even if your VCR has a Secam setting it is more likely to be for the Eastern Europe variant. French Videos will still give you B&W without either a French VCR or a multistandards one. -
plain PAL VHS VCR should be capable to play SECAM recording (mentioned MESECAM), SECAM demodulation (decoding) should be done at the capture card (most digital color decoders i capable to demodulate/decode SECAM) - issue can be on drivers side.
