Question

I can't seem to find how to burn my audiobooks to a DVD. They're too big for a CD unless I use several.

Ramona,
Colin is right about backing up your audiobook onto DVD. However this only serves to keep a copy which you can use to restore it to iTunes if it gets deleted. You will not be able to listen to it on a CD player (or on a DVD player - I think - although I may be wrong about this.)
To back it up, while in iTunes go to File then Back Up to Disk and it will walk you through the process.
If you want to listen to the audiobook via disk, you do have to burn multiple CD disks (just as the audiobooks you purchase at a book store are on CD.) If you burn to CDs, you will be able to listen to them. However, if you bought the audiobook from the iTunes Store it can be downloaded to an iPod, but I don't think you can burn it to CD ( I have tried this and it won't allow it) because of copyright protection.
So, you might be able to burn it to a DVD disk, but then you are tied to your computer (or maybe a DVD player) in order to listen to it.
Some instructions from Help on burning CDs follow:
If you plan to play the CD on a consumer CD player (not only on a computer), you need to use a blank CD-R disc, not a CD-RW disc. You can use DVDs with your computer, but most DVD players can't read data DVD discs. ("RW" stands for "read-write" and means the disc can be erased and reused.)
If you do want to burn to CD, here are some instructions from iTunes Help:
To create an audio CD:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and click Burning.
Select Audio CD as the Disc Format.
To have all the songs on the CD play at the same volume, select Use Sound Check.
Click OK.
Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the CD, and make sure all the songs you want to include on the CD have a checkmark beside them.
Click Burn Disc (at the bottom of the iTunes window) and insert a blank disk.
If the playlist contains more songs than will fit on the CD, iTunes burns only the number of songs that fit on one disc, and then asks you to insert another disc to continue burning the remaining songs.
If the playlist includes Audible spoken programs with chapter markers, the chapters are burned as separate tracks.
After all this, if what you want is a convenient, portable way to listen to audiobooks, an iPod is really the way to go. I use mine all the time to listen to books while I walk.
I hope this is helpful.
