how di I burn wav to DVD?

[gmst]

how can I record audio files to DVD-R (16 bit 44.1 or 48 khz). None of my software seems to support this. I have Nero, Two versions of My DVD and Primo DVD. Please recomed something else if you can.
Can I play these like a cd in my DVD player? (Yes my DVD player plays DVD-R.)
This would be great for my Grateful Dead shows If I can figure this out.
Thanks,
Martin

You can not burn similiar as cd audio on a dvd. But you can make a simple dvd-video with for example a menu and submenus with a background and the audio(wav audio is supported).

Use TMPGEnc,select DVD,load your .wav in audio,set output audio to 384kbps 48,000khz.
P.Set video bitrate to cbr 2000kbps for faster encoding and smaller files.

easy.....make the wave to a AC3 file or DTS audio file and burn....
use software that support converting wav to AC3/DTS
i have ripped the Metalica concert from a dvd and put it on a regular cd
in DTS sound!!(4 cd's)
so in your case just turn the wav to DTS.wav and burn the file....

Remember:
You will lose some quality if you're compressing/encoding from WAV->AC3 or DTS. Not alot, but it might make a difference to you. It does to me. I would want to keep it WAV/PCM if space and bitrate requirements allowed it (most of the time it doesn't).

You could just as easily author those waves along with a very low bitrate video (black/simple plain text on solid background) or still picture. DVD-Video supports "Timed Slides with Audio", and this would be like that. Just make the timing of each slide end with audio's end, and/or make chapter marks.
Even with uncompressed WAV, you could certainly get about 180 min. of Audio. And this would play in all DVD-R capable players. Check your DVD-authoring app of choice to see if it supports creation of timed slides/stills--all of them support uncompressed wav.

VERY IMPORTANT
Remember, that while DVD players may implicitly support 44.1kHz sampled audio if it supports Audio CDs and (S)VideoCDs, It doesn't explicity support it. The DVD-Video spec says "48kHz". That's it. So to make things more compliant, you should apply a nice, high quality Sample Rate Conversion. SSRC is said to be quite good as a plugin for TMPGEnc. Personally, I use the SRC in CoolEdit at the "best" setting and to me the converted file is indistinguishable from the original (although you shouldn't normalize to 0db. Leave some room for it to tweak in).

Enjoy your audio!
