DVD burner

I just got a new computer with a DVD burner and I'm trying to figure out if I can burn MP3 or WAV files to a DVD. I thought I remember seeing a post on this before, but can't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Yeah, it's pulling teeth to "trick" a DVD into taking wav.files- you have to transcode them into something else. I've so far been delighted with Eximius' DVD+Audio software ($50 Euros or so, but well worth it). You could also use Nero or BeSweet to transcode your music to 48 khz, the native rate that DVD uses.

I haven't tried MP3 on DVD. It can easily be done, but I'm not sure if the resulting disc is a computer disc that must be played back on a computer or whether a DVD deck will play them.

That's it, now if I can just get it all figured out

Oh, one other biggie; a DVD will need to have video encoded along with the audio to make it play back on a regular DVD player. I know that sounds goofy, but I've not found any way around that. You can encoded just black or a low rez picture, you just need some video to make the the DVD format "happy."
