Hello everyone, I was always burning my projects on DVDs and recently it stopped doing it. I first thought I have problems with my old DVD burner but I replaced it with a new one. No deference. I use Mac with iOS Mohave. I can save project as mp4 file but no DVD.

Does anybody know what could it be? Thank you for your help.

On my computer it was a change/update in the operating system that rendered the optical disk drivers useless.

Where you able to fix it? How? I'm sure I still can burn CDs

No, I did not fix it.  It was an ASUS gaming laptop and it seemed that the needed drivers would have to come from the optical disk drive maker (Toshiba??).   I had transitioned to HD quality and had tried Blu-Rays for awhile.  My HD workflow transitioned to 4K.   That resulted in using MP4 files on thumb drives and using Vimeo to send to more distant friends. 

In other words, my failure to fix the drive was coincident with me not wanting to use DVDs anymore.  The quality is too low.  Since then, I've moved on to a laptop that does not have DVD/Blu-Ray drive.
