Premiere Elements 2026 version - Cannot Find a way to burn DVDs or produce DVD .iso file

I just purchased 2026 Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundle. I can create a video and export it to a Media file or to a number of social media sites but I cannot find a way to burn a DVD or create a DVD .iso file from the video I have created.  I have reviewed numer of posting showing a pull down on the "Export & Share" button on the upper right portion of the editor display.  On my version there is not a pull down indication.  The only option is to press the button.  Afterward a window on the left side of the display opens with an option to save a media  file or to export the video to a number of social media sites.

 

Additonally I don't seem to have a way to create a DVD menus or to edit Book Marks although I can create them.

I have installed copies several time and on several computers with the same results.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

You can't do that in the 2026 version.

You have to export a movie and then author it in a DVD authoring program.

So the 2026 version is useless for saving to .iso so you can burn to DVD??

Hi there,

 

Please can you give more details please, I am a novice and don't understand what you mean. I have been using PE15 upto now...I export as a AVCHD iso image and then burn to DVD using a burn programme. 

What do you mean export a "movie"”?

and

What do you mean "”author in in a DVD authoring programme?

E26 cannot export iso/images anymore

It can however export a file that is DVD or Bluray compatible.

An authoring program is software that will author (there is no other word for this: make it suitable) and burn your file to disk.

For instance:

TMPGEnc Authoring Works 7 - The Ultimate DVD / Blu-ray / AVCHD Authoring Tool - Pegasys Inc.

 

Instead of making a disk you can put your movie on a flash drive and pop it into the TV
