If you want to store the image files for the photos in your library you must first export them out of the library to folders on the Desktop. I would suggest exporting the original version along with the XML file for each photo so you have the metadata (keywords, titles and descriptions, that were added to the photo) available in case you reimport them into a library in the future. The export window would be like this:
The photos would end up in folders named for the moment which is essentially the date and location.
Then you can drag the folders to onto the empty CD or DVD icon and then burn to disc by dragging the disc's icon to the Trash bin which will change to the burn icon.
If you're only burning specific photos then export them to a new folder on the Desktop (don't use the moments subfolder option) and burn the folder to disc.
