<<<I want to burn audio files to a dvd.>>> On a Mac, you put the blank DVD in the machine and OK the opening dialog. Drag the sound files over to it and burn. That will produce a Data DVD with the straight sound files on it. On a Windows machine, you need to add a CD/DVD Authoring tool (Nero), but i...

<<<I know how to drag and drop them in and they align ok >>> You dragged them over, or you ripped them with CDex or other program?

Where did you get the show from? You can get serious behavior problems if the original work is in a format that Audacity doesn't entirely understand. In Audacity 1.2, you can get through editing and export before you find out you have a damaged show. You can also have problems if you edited in the A...

You can use Tracks > Stereo Track To Mono to produce a single sound channel instead of two channels -- a different channel for each ear. If your show is simple spoken word, then mono should be acceptable. A mono show will sound acceptable at half the bitrate of stereo. There are no rules other than ...
