The signal coming out of the adapter may have been modified from standard for copy protection similar to Macrovision. It will display on a TV, but the circuitry in the VHS deck will not record a usable video signal. There are devices that plug in between the source and the VHS inputs that can stabilize the signal. An example would be this - https://www.amazon.com/XDIMAX-GREX-7-4-G...0096I2DNE/. I have not personally used this particular one, but one of my fellow staff members has to transfer video from VHS tapes for digitization. It may or may not work with the signal coming out of your adapter.
