yes you should be able to, but the process isn't as simple as that.
For better info on what burner (pioneer most likely) go to the DVD section:

On the svcd, not all standalone players play them (so make sure yours does) and those that do, don't always play them well. However there is a list in the section above, with a few tested players & such for you to look at. Pioneers do quite well (the standalone players), but a few others (super cheapy models) do too.
ChickenMan's tutorials are great if you want to make VCDs & SVCDs (the VCDs are amazing quality, better than VHS).
Good luck.
