Could be caused by: the digitiser/dongle, the VCR (heads or lack of stabilisation) or a bad tape. Unfortunately, it's a process of elimination here.
Before starting, check you have the "Video Stndard" set correctly ie NTSC or PAL (try PAL_B and then try other PAL settings).
First, hook up your VCR direct to your TV (use the AV input) and see how the tape plays.
If that's not OK, try another tape or another VCR if you can get one.
If it's OK on your TV, it's probably a weak-ish signal, enough for the TV but not for the digitiser. You probably need a video stabiliser such as a DVD recorder (or a proper Timebase Corrector) to pass the video signal through and stabilise it. Here are some examples:

Do a short export of the problem video and post here for us to check. Might be some clues in it.

It seems now that my problem was particularly connected to the first videotape I tried to digitize. The next one looks OK.

Hello Aage,
....Noise on the rescued film from VHS tape...
What you can do is to purchase a Head Cleaning Tape. With this you can clean the video heads of your video recorder. I personally use it regularly.
See for example: Head Cleaning Tape | 20 ml | VHS Heads | Black
