I think it is a possible solution. I think the real key is the wiring of the cable. Unfortunately not all scart leads connect all 21 pins.

You will of course still need a separate scart from the DVD recorder to the TV to allow for the playback of the DVD recorded stuff so I'm assuming you have two scart sockets on the TV and recorder.

Effectively your wiring is:

TV scart input AV socket #1
<scart dual lead to split end #1>
VM scart socket
<scart dual lead to split end #2>
DVD Recorder input scart socket #1

&

TV scart input AV socket #2
<standard scard lead>
DVD Recorder ouput scart socket #2
