Will DVD Burners only burn DVDs or CDs as well?

What DVD Format is best?

Will all DVD Burners burn DVDs so they can be viewed on standard DVDs to be
viewed on TV?

Yes they burn CDs.

Compatibility-wise, from what I've read, and in my own experience, DVD+R/RW
is the most compatible with players in general, although it isn't hard to
find a DVD burner that handles both DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW formats, so you
can experiment with what works best for you.

Yes, but you need to have the proper software that creates the DVD file
structure necessary for them to play as DVD Video discs. And, if you are
trying to create DVD movies from video files downloaded on the internet, or
captured from your video camera, etc, then they have to be in the proper
compression format and converted to the proper file format that the DVD
burning software can use. Simply backing up commerical DVD movies also
requires that you use some kind of DVD ripping software to break the CSS
encryption, and then you can use a program like Nero to burn the unencrypted
files to a blank DVD.

I do know that most Sony's are compatible with DVD-R or -RW, if that's what
you use.
