You must use Amiga's composite (RCA) output.
The reason is simple: RGB - > Scart cable does not change the video signal, only transferes the RGB signal to Scart plug. VTRs do not support this, only some TV sets do.

Yes, indeed, few VCRs support this. My VCR just gives out a black screen. However I've found out that many modern TV sets with scart-in supports it. How is this scart RGB signal different from the normal scart signal and why doesn't VCRs support it?

rgs,

So scart signals from scart units can be composite/rgb?

And who the hell is Gordon Bennett ???????

Gordon Bennett is a common phrase used in British English to express surprise or shock, for instance. "Gordon Bennett! look at the size of that".

The phrase is believed to have originated in the 19th century, after a notorious Victorian playboy called James Gordon Bennett, Jr. who became famous for his extravagant lifestyle, and exploits, so much so that his name became stuck in the national language.
