    I don't think so.

    Even if it were possible to do this, a standard CD player would simply not read the DVD-R.

    The make-up of a DVD or DVD-R is very different from that of a CD. Firstly a DVD disc uses a substrate half as thick as a CD's (0.6 mm vs. 1.2 mm) as well as smaller pit and lands. Also, a DVD is read using a shorter wavelength laser (650 nano-metres visible light vs. 780 nano-metres infra-red) through an optical lens with a larger numerical aperture (0.60 vs. 0.45).

    What this all means is that a standard CD player will not read your DVD-R, even if it contained audio tracks and a CD TOC.
