We always talk about the video formats, like MOV, MP4, AVI,etc. They all sound very familiar. However, when we switch to the audio side, what audio formats will come to your mind first? WAV is no doubt one of them. WAV stands for Waveform Audio File Format, and is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs.
If you are looking for solutions to convert and burn WAV to DVD, this guide would show you several effective solutions. You will get multiple WAV to DVD burner software tools here.

Part 1: Why Convert WAV to DVD?

The excellent, various and interesting sound effect is the key issue that really makes WAV stands out, regardless of other audio formats on the market. No matter you are a film director, game player, music singer, website builder, as long as you are looking for some ready-to-use and interesting sound effect in different forms(sound clips, noise) & in different genres ( for example Ambience, Sports, Events, Airport, Radio, Industrial, Ringtone, Multimedia, Cartoon etc. ) or generated by different instruments like drums, turntable, bass, guitar, percussion loops, vocals, synth loops, strings or keyboard...in your film, game, music or TV shows, a huge sound effect data base exactly in WAV file format is completely ready for instant listening, testing, licensing and downloading. It's absolutely amazing to have such a WAV sound effect library out there for public use.

All the good sides of WAV are not necessarily advantages under all the circumstances. Like the mentioned WAV is big but lossless, this make it difficult to share and transfer over the internet; MP3 is small but kind of lossy, this is why this music format is easy t share on the internet. Just like a coin has two sides, we’ve also listed some WAV shortcomings and limitations below for reference:

  • Uncompressed WAV files are with large size, so file sharing of WAV files over the Internet is very uncommon - please see the explanation above;
  • The WAV format is limited to files that is between 2-4 GiB, because of its use of a 32-bit unsigned integer to record the file size header - that means sometimes this limit has to be exceeded in order to hold longer and bigger CD-quality audio;
  • Audio bitstream storage on PCs only - this brings out the request to convert WAV to other audio formats or to even other video formats like DVD.

Many people have been looking for tools to save their WAV audio files on DVD discs so that they could save and keep their WAV audio files more convenient. By burning WAV audio files to DVD, they could also share their WAV audio files easier.
