Problem burning to disc in Elements 2019

I have used Adobe Elements to create simple family films (I'm 70 now) since the 2013 version, and have used assorted programmes before that.  Cyberlink, Roxio etc..  Ive always found it easy to do.  I purchased the 2019 version only because my Mac is stopping supporting 2013's 32bit..

Ive created my first film, ok, not too different from previous versions, but the method of burning to disc is quite different.   I used to create an ISO when enabled me to burn extra discs easily for the family.  I cant see this option.  I couldnt even find an image of a disc to let me burn directly there.  I have worked my way though the options and image is saved as i XMP.  I have burned three so far and none will lay on the TV, I made sure Pal was ticked n advanced, too.  It used to be so easy.  I have looked at tutorials on line and within help I have got more and more frustrated.  And bitterly disappointed I might say.  My family films are my hobby and our children and grandchildren enjoy them.  

Please can any one come up with a way to do this.  As I said the tutorials dont seem to match what I am seeing in my programme.

Woodie,

 

I'm even older than you!  But, not much.

Adobe software is drifting away from disc burning.  I'm not a Mac user, but did some google searching.  You might do the same.  Wondershare seems to get good reviews.

Its so frustrating.  Even the tutorials show the disc icon, so at least I could burn directly, but it doesnt show in the programme itself.  Its like when they got to 2019 they didnt bother.  The ad for 2020 keeps coming up too.  I usually manage to solve issues but this one has me stumped.

Its the only programme I could get for the mac without it costing a fortune.  Theres more choice for windows.  I had windows from 1998, but when my last PC began to die I decided to opt for the mac, but choices are limited and the Mac imovie is neither use nor ornament for what I want.

Incidentally, my last burn played on the Mac in QuickTime, but of course not on the TV, which is what I want for family.

Thank you for your reply.
