How to fix my VHS captures?

Image of issue attached below(screenshotted from my raw capture file)

What is the name of this distortion?
Any recommendations on what could fix it?

This showed up 1-2 minutes into the video. I have already used this hardware for about 20 VHS's and did not see anything as bad as this.
When I saw this on the first video I figured the VHS may be messed up and tried a different on and saw the same thing about 1-2 minutes into the video as well.

I have a collection of home and purchased VHS's that I am trying to digitize.
I have been thinking I may need a better VCR or a standalone TBC, but I'm not sure if it would help this problem.

Hardware:
JVC HR-S3900U (I know it does not have TBC and is not on the recommended list)
S-Video Cable
Elgato Video Capture USB 2.0
I also have an AverMedia CE310B PCIe Frame Grabber(seems to detect copyright and shows a grey screen on some videos)

PC for capture:
Intel Core I7-4770K
32 GB Ram
GTX 780 TI graphics card
Windows 7

PC for Processing:
Intel Core I9-10920X
64 GB Ram
RTX 30 series Graphics card
Windows 10

Storage:
24 TB on NAS with a 10 gigabit connection

Software:
VirtualDub2 for capture
VirtualDub2 for Deinterlacing
HandBrake for compression to MP4

That's a capture card error. Typical Elgato (why it earns the nickname Elcrapo).

A timing error is on the tape, lack of frame TBC. But the capture card makes it far worse.
A frame timing error also likely exists.

New VCR (or add ES10/15), new card, probably some sort of frame TBC, and should be fixed.

I'm a toon collector. What is that? :)

Thanks for the quick reply
I have seen your name a lot in my reading on this and the videohelp forum

When you say ES10/15 are you referring to Panasonic DMR-ES10/15 DVD Player?

I got the AverMedia card to try to have something that wouldn't glitch too much when the tapes are old but I can't use it on this video.

I have been keeping my eye on ebay for a decent priced VCR on the recommended list and/or a full frame TBC.

The video is Animated Hero Classics: President Abraham Lincoln by Warner-Nest Animation from 1993

I did find this article which answers some of my questions.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...-dmr-es10.html

Reading one of the threads on here I remember reading that recommended TBCs are TBC-1000 and AVT-8710
Are there other frame TBCs that are OK?
