External DVD drive to burn?

Hi, I want to burn a DVD of self-recorded videos as a present for my sister.

First question: is that possible?

Second question: Can anyone recommend an external DVD drive, which can do something or you need an extra device for? (My windows laptop does not have a DVD / CD drive)

Third question: Could you then burn music CDs with my audio files? The modern form of a mixtape, so to speak.

Last question: If all that is possible, is that legal? (The rights to the videos I own yes, as far as the music is concerned, I bought the CDs and then pulled the songs on the laptop)

Take a look at legal / illegal etc. Absolutely no worries.

Why should it be a DVD as well? You say that your laptop has no DVD drive at all. I advise you rather to give her that on a USB stick, it's finally about the videos, not the medium. In 10 years, there's probably nowhere more DVD drives installed by default.

Yes will work.

Yes, you will need an external burner. I drive with my Nonamebrenner for 25 euro quite well.

Yes, it works too.

My sister has a big DVD collection, that's why. Would be a great Christmas present for you. On a stick… I could send it to her like that.

And that's synonymous DVDs?

Pu

Yes, with an external DVD burner "synonymous go DVDs". 😉👍

You definitely do not need an "external burner", no idea what that should be. Download any DVD burning software from Google and see who else in your family has a DVD drive. Do it all from there.

Yes, that works but you need a program that can do that. That creates the menu, etc. Of course, you can simply burn the videos as a data DVD and probably can open their DVD player synonymous but you then just have no typical DVD menu.
Can't recommend an external DVD drive.
You can then use it to burn audio CDs. However, you must have the music files on your PC. So MP3 or Wave or WMA etc. Spotify download files go for example. Not! For the own use no problem. If you give it away, it's definitely illegal.
