How do you convert 2 channel stereo into a format that can be burned onto a DVD audio

Do you mean the audio soundtrack on a dvd-video? Or a DVD-Audio disc? These are very different things. If you're referring to the former, besweet can encode to AC3 or MP2, the former of which is guaranteed compatible with DVD-Video, and MP2 is compatible with some players.

If Yu want create DVD-Audio (compatible with DVD-Audio standard) disc

1) you can crate LPCM track, with up to 6 channels at sample rates of 48/96/192 kHz (also 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz) and sample sizes of 16/20/24 bits.

2) or creat track encoded in MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing).MLP allows playing times of about 74 to 135 minutes of 6-channel 96-kHz/24-bit audio on a single layer (compared to 45 minutes without packing). Two-channel 192-kHz/24-bit playing times are about 120 to 140 minutes (compared to 67 minutes without packing).Very expensive method.

You can do this but don't expect better quality than your oryginal tracks. You can create 2 chanels tracks or expand your 2 chanels tracks to 5.1. But that certainly won't be the same as oryginal DVD-audio!!!!

Look there if You want conwert 2.0 to 5.1:
