Doesn't look like Macrovision to me.

The thing is this don't happen when i directly connect my vcr to my capture card.

Which capture card? Does that card defeat Macrovision?
Don't DVD recorders create mod-16 frames? The images aren't even mod-4, so I assume they've been cropped.

Is it exactly the same blue stain in the same spot on all the tapes? Macrovision does different things with different tapes, and usually doesn't remain exactly the same for many frames, but flickers, jitters, comes and goes, etc.

I still see some ragged edges with notches in both images.

A frame tbc before the signal enters the recorder will render the recorder's line tbc useless.
