You will need a DVD rewriter to make such a compilation on a DVD disc. It won't play in a standard CD player and may not play in a standard DVD player if you've created a compilation of WAV files in that way. It would of course play in a computer that has a DVD ROM or rewriter.
Although a DVD is physically identical to a CD, it is very different in it's make up. It is both burned and read with a different laser to that used for your everyday CD player. The laser needs to be of a wavelength such that it can extract the data that's packed into that disc. A standard CD can hold 700 meg whereas a DVD can hold 4.3 gig which equates to 4,300 meg.
