I might have to add that 'converting SCART to anything" is nonsense since SCART can carry various signals (composite, RGB, SVideo) and you'd probably want to convert a specific signal.

As already said: SCART != SCART. A standard VCR is a composite device that can only input a composite signal e.g. from SCART. The Amiga outputs RGB only to SCART, so the VCR gets nothing.

The cheapest solution available is an old S-Video genlock ($5-10) - if your TV/monitor supports Y/C. (You should be aware that PAL & NTSC differ in Y/C as well if you buy a genlock from somewhere else.)
