jumpy menus in ps1 capture

noticed it when trying to record some footage of gran turismo 1. https://youtu.be/atdXG2H8wq4 it's right at the end of the video. with the language selection, but it persists across all menu's. I can upload other videos if you need to see more. right now I am trying to test the quality of hdmi out of the dvdr I have. the way I have it hooked up is, ps1 with sony svideo cables into svideo input in the dvd recorder then hdmi out through a hdmi cable into my hdmi capture card and that is connected to the laptop running obs. I can record footage in my dvd recorder of gameplay and there are no issues whatsoever with odd menus. its all perfect but whenever I attempt a passthrough it does the funky weird stuff with the menu's. obviously it would be a lot quicker to just record the hdmi out stream than recording to the hard drive and burning to disc then ripping the disc on pc. but at the moment I can't find a way to record the stream that doesn't look bad. I would be perfectly fine with 720p as my final capture quality as this is what I am recording ps3 and wii u at. does anyone have an optimal settings guide for ps1 capture going through an upscaler dvd recorder? I have a choice of output resolution for the hdmi out. I have just updated to the latest version of obs studio.
windows 10 home ed 64 bit
processor amd a4-5000 apu with radeon hd graphics 1.5ghz
4gb ram
the capture card is one of those generic usb to hdmi dongles that came on the market this year I think? they are really good considering how cheap they are. looks a bit like this https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Fb4iKz+DL._AC_SX466_.jpg its been perfect for capturing hd games consoles so far.
do I need a log file?

I have now got another dvd recorder but I still use the pass through function to try to get hdmi output from this setup recorded. it's now setup as s-video output of the ps1 into s-video input of dvd recorder 1, output from composite output on dvd recorder 1 to crt tv (so I can play the games on a crt with no latency) then second output going through rgb scart into second dvd recorder which can output through hdmi or record at decent-ish quality internally... the hdmi output can either go into capture card which is connected to laptop or it can go out to my monitor. it looks absolutely fine when output to my monitor, no jumpy menu's at all but looks bad when recorded through capture card and obs. I done another recording of the same game, here it's much more obvious what the problem is; https://youtu.be/3NzpvBsAJ0U
looks like it is mostly an issue concerning certain colours? but it happens in different menu's in this game in particular. anyone have any idea what kind of bug this might be? or even if it's a bug? I would like to correct this if I can as recording in through my capture card would be a lot less work than recording to dvd recordable media it should also be higher quality. but I guess if this can't be fixed then I will have to go with that other option and forget about obs.

when you want wo make good videos of old consoles use an ossc and RGB output Cable
the problem is the scaling and the interlacing

is the ossc the only device that can help this? I recorded the footage to the dvd recorder and the recorded footage didn't have the problem. which made me suspect some of the problem is fixed in recording modes on the dvd recorder but not during passthrough. the dvd recorder is actually upscaling from what I can tell.
