I've been an audio engineer for the last 10 yrs. CD audio is 16 bit resolution at 44.1kHz sample rate. It is a stereo recording. This means it has a serarate left and right channel. DVD audio is 24 bit resolution at 96kHz samplerate (more than double that of CD). It is a 5.1 recording. This means that it has seprarate left and right channels, a center, left rear, and right rear channel (that's the 5 in 5.1). It also has a dedicated Low Frequency channel or "sub woofer channel" (that's the 1 in 5.1) So DVD has higher resolution and a higher sample rate with more channels that allow for surround sound where CD is not capable of doing true surround sound. Yes I know that you can play a CD in your can which has both front and rear left and right speakers, but that's not surround sound. It merely duplicates the front channels and plays them in the back. They are not dedicated surround channels like on a DVD or a 5.1 surround system.

How do you make an audio DVD?

It is impossible to make an audio DVD that would play in a CD player. DVDs are made for DVD players, not CD players. You could use iTunes to make a Data DVD, but that still wouldn't play in a CD player. It might not even play in a DVD player. Sorry, you'll probably have to stick with CDs for audio.
