You can buy any DVD burner for what you want. They can all burn VCD's and SVCD's just fine. It's really the software you use with the burner that controls what you can burn. Not the burner itself.

As for DVD- and DVD+, they are competing formats. There are some diffrences but for the consumer all it really does is add confusion. Either one works just fine. Usually buying the + DVD's is a little cheaper though. I think most people just try to get a DVD+/- burner so that they can use either format and never worry about it.

I don't really have a brand to suggest. I personally just wait till I see a sale and pick up DVD's when there at 25 cents each and they've always worked. I've used a few diffrent brands and never had a problem.
