Why do people convert DVD to WAV but not MP3?

The good thing about WAV file is that it could digitize sounds without audio quality loss. While its drawback is the file size. When it comes to music file, a WAV file can be way bigger than a MP3 file. However, the smaller file size means quality loss. Thus, music lovers still choose to store files in WAV for good sound quality. In addition, you can also use WAV to create other types of audio files, such as MP3.
