Car radio and gauge on dash will shut off while driving and car will stall. I replace battery and alternator but the problem is still there.

Thanks for the video helps me do my job. It looks like you have a bad connection at the battery or you have a bad battery cable. Here is a guide that will help us fix the problem:

It is at the shop right now and they found that the wire to the alternator is burnt. Now since its burnt will the alternator not charge the battery?

Yes, the alternator must be able to charge the battery. Can you get an image of the what they are talking about so I can confirm? Here is the alternator wiring diagrams so you can confirm the repair and to see how the system works. Please let us know what happens.
