How to copy/burn a smart album or slideshow from Photos

How to burn a DVD with photos

I have made several smart albums on my iMac.

Now I want to copy one of these albums to a DVD, so my brother-in-law either can watch the photos on his PC (Windows) or put the disc into his DVD-player and watch the photos on his television.

This album is a compilation of old and new photos shot by different cameras and the very old ones have been scanned. On my iMac they are shown smoothly in the correct chronological order.

I have exported the photos, but it simply doesn't work the way I want. The picture files do not come in chronological order, they come sorted by their names, i.e. IMG_432, IMG_433 etc. New and old photos are mixed up.

Then I turned the album into a slide show, which as I understand it functions as a video. When I export the slide show onto a DVD, I can see that something is on the disc, but no windows computer will show it. Neither a regular DVD-player.

My next thought was to share an album with my brother-in-law (as he does have an iPad om which he should be able to see a shared album, but for some odd reason I may only make the album and give it a name, but no photos will go into the album.

Friends of mine suggest to use Google Photos for this purpose, but I'm not a big fan of Google so preferably I would like to avoid that.

Can anyone help me a step further - it should actually be his Christmas presents with more than 3,000 photos from his birth until today.

Thanks in advance
