If you use composite cable anywhere in your chain, you might need to start using S-Video connection.

Unfortunately, i could not have an access to perform this (SCART ADAPTORS arent count)
And they are ruining the capture quality

Actually, SCART adapter would not be that bad. I'm talking about a dongle which has male connector to SCART to connect to your VCR socket and female socket to plug in your S-video cable.
Assuming, of course, your VCR support S-Video over SCART.
Also, it doesn't guarantee it will solve the problem. Dot-crawl might be already recorded on your tape.

Double check your setting for your SCART in VCR set to S-Video, not just Video.
Btw, all your attached png files give me empty white rectangle.

I'm not familiar with that device, but usually you call the menu and browse it.
Look for connections, input/output settings. They might call it AV1, AV2 etc.
By default this setting is set for Video. It means your luma wire of S-Video connector gets a mixture of luma and chroma (composite signal) and you chroma wire gets chroma. I've seen that before. Dot-crawl is given in that scenario.

That's not needed.

Have you tried playing VCR and connecting S-Video?
Anyways, the setting for the SCART from your menu:
DVD -> Display Setup -> DVD Out -> S-Video.
Something tells me if you can get S-Video from the SCART, you should have in from S-Video jack too.
Good luck!
