If I use an HDMI to RCA converter to record from my PC to a VHS

You have to emit the correct type of composite video. Most TVs will happily autodetect between NTSC, PAL, SEECAM, and PAL60, but your VCR is physically incapable of recording at the wrong framerate, however will still transparently write whatever colour standard you feed it, meaning you can feed PAL60 into an NTSC VCR and it will write a PAL60 tape that plays in monochrome on any TV that doesn't understand PAL60.

I would recommend getting an original Xbox, softmodding it, and using XBMC to play your video directly to the VCR in RGB, S-video or composite. I have successfully written tapes in this way.

Depends on the computer, the system and the converter.
Shocker, isn't it?

Obviously those things *SHOULD* work, otherwise it is not the normal case and a problem occured, but this one then is as specific as any other problem.

Just judgin by what should be done it *SHOULD* not be a problem, downscaling is not a big thing for a converter and the VCR will just use this signal like any other, if it worked before then there is no reason it should not work then, for it the whole converter- PC chain is just a black box that sends a classic SDTV signal it can work with.

Why even write this?

don't expect great quality on the tape like you see on a hdmi tv. btw radioshack is closing down stores so you can pick that converter up for around $5 now.

Thanks. I'll look into these options.
