Not really sure about the scope of your request for assistance.

Festivals issue a "deliverable" document, usually, that outlines what form your media will be acceptable to them. This can include BluRay and DVD as you state, but also ProRes, DCP and H.264 may be among the eligible formats that a theatre will accept.

The latter three formats can be exported directly from Resolve using pre-determined Delivery options.

Resolve does not author disks. You can export the assets (picture and sound) from Resolve in Mpg and H264 formats, but usually you will require a third-party application to finalize a playable disk. Apple Compressor will do it, the now-defunct Adobe Encore was, and still remains a good choice for those who still own it, and there may be other applications that will get you where you want to go.

I have had good results exporting a high-quality, 20 or 25 Mbps BluRay-compatible H264 and then using it to generate both the HD BluRay and SD-DVD streams used to construct those releases. The trick usually is to balance the bitrate and filesize with the quality you desire.

I too continue to use Encore CS6. However, just recently the app crashes when I play the timeline or try to create a menu. I've gone to the Adobe forums with no luck fixing it and, of course, they no longer support it. The error details from Windows 7 show "BMDTransmit.prm" as the fault module which to me indicates a problem with the plug-in interfacing with my Decklink Extreme 4K 12G card. Premiere, After Effects, nor any of my other Adobe apps and DaVinci Resolve have this problem. I've considered uninstalling and reinstalling but the last time I did that, I got a serial number blockage from Adobe which forced me to jump through a bunch of hoops to get them to reactivate my copy (which is entirely legit). Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.

Easy to test. Just remove this plugin file from Adobe folder. If you don't use BM card with Adobe app then delete at all.
Don't us new BM drivers for card (specially if it worked with old one) when using such a outdated and unsupported app. New drivers may be the cause of your problems.

Thanks for the fast reply! That's sort of what I did and Encore works fine now. In Preferences, switched the video output to Adobe DV from BM. Can't use my 4K monitor with Decklink but you're right, going back to old drivers just for Encore isn't worth it.
