Burned to file not to disk? What changed?

I have successfully burned projects from DVDA 4a. I updated to DVDA 4b and found something changed. When I prepared the file it when to the folder that I changed it to: C:\Temp\DVD\project1. Then I clicked the burn file button. It showed that it was burning a disk. When I didn't see the disk eject I pushed the eject button on the side of the machine and found the unburned disk.

I pushed it back in and a Windows menu popped up and asked if I wanted to play it, open it, etc. One choice that I saw was burn the ISO file with Sonic. I tried it and completed the project.

I learned the name of the type of file (ISO), and I learned how to burn it with another program. BUT...
Why didn't DVDA burn it to the disk? How do I get it to burn?
Thanks,
Jeff

In the make DVD process you have a dialog [the 3rd window in sequence] where you choose the device to use for burning. One of the choices is the ISO Image Writer. If DVDA, for whatever reason, doesn't see your hardware burner, the ISO Image Writer is the only choice left and is selected automatically. It's easy to miss that when plowing through the process.
