Will a FLAC encoded track play in a normal DVD/CD player?

Yep it will-when you burn a Flac encoded album onto a CDR,
it gets converted into the format that normal CD's use.
Check out wikipedia for more info-

Does that mean we can accomodate more than 60minutes of songs on a CD?

A regular CD anyway has the capacity to store about 74 minutes of music.

If you fill a CD with MP-3 files, it will play ( on an mp-3 player for over 10 hours ! ( depending on the mp-3 compression choosen )

If you burn the FLAC tracks as a data disc, it will NOT play on a CD player.

Well, obviously!
When you burn the files onto a CDR you would choose to burn them as an audio cd, wouldn't you?
FLAC is merely a "lossless" way of compresing music off a CD to facilitate ease of transmission over the net-sorta works like winzip does for data files;the Flac file which gets reconverted into the .cda format while burning onto a CDR, is bit for bit, identical to the original CD.
If your CD/DVD player can handle CDR's, it'll play.

Note that Flac, unlike a zip file, will play back on Winamp using a plugin. So you can use a computer as a source for your amp.

There actually exist a few players / portables that can play the Flac format as well. If you are buying a new player, then search one out (using the internet) that will natively play Flac.

I find DVD players pretty stupid. They can't even play a simple wav file (obtained from backing up an audio CD on a computer)

Philips DVD players do play most formats without a hitch including mp3 and wav. FLAC... I'm not sure if any dvd player supports it. The only devices I know that natively plays FLAC are the Squeezebox and its bigger brother the Transporter.
