If you're using a video bitrate of 9600 to 9800, you're going to need to compress the audio stream into AC3 or mp2 because the bitrate for PCM wav (microsoft wav) is 1536 kbit/sec which will exceed the DVD spec when combined with the video. Remember the maximim bitrate for DVD is 9800 kbit/sec - your audio, video, subtitles, headers etc. cannot exceed this figure. If you set your MAX video bitrate to 9300 and your audio bitrate to 448 then you won't exceed the limit.

Here's a link to a bitrate calculator which will help you set the correct bitrate depending on the length of your source material. It's designed for TMPGENc, but it is still applicable for Sony Vegas...
