I want to put a bunch of CDs onto one DVD, and be able to play it in my home theater DVD player (not on the computer). However, I am having trouble getting it to play the Wave files.

What I tried to do is RIp the WAVE files, and then copy them as a Data DVD using Nero.

I don't want to convert the files to MP3 or WMW. What should I do to solve this problem?

thanks,
-Alex

Buy a DVD player that supports WAVE files. Not all of them do. If you can't do that then you have to use some sort of compression (Mp3, Wma, Ogg Vorbis, ect). But again make sure your DVD player supports it.

But if CDs already have the audio files written in Wave format, why won't my DVD player recognize CDs, but not DVDs with Wave files written onto them?

If your talking about purchased or burned Audio-CDs (not Data-CDs) then you have a misconception that most new digital audio people have about CDs. Audio-CDs don't contain WAVE files (or .cda files)! They contain Uncompressed PCM data tracks. When you rip a CD to a WAVE file you are just putting the PCM data in a form that a windows based OS can understand (the .cda is a windows only thing aswell). WAVE is only a container not a codec!

You can put anything into a WAVE container, its just a formatted bit-bucket. Yes thats right, you can put lossy, or lossless, as well as RAW audio data into a WAVE container. Although nobody rely does. Yet some work has been done to make it easy to put Mp3 data inside a WAVE.
