Is it an idea to get her a new DVD player which also reads USB sticks?
Her current setup already can read files from a USB, she still insists on DVDs. I don't really think she can wrap her mind around how files are as permanent as DVDs. Any technology is basically magic in her eyes, and I think having a physical disc that plays a movie is much less overwhelming to her.
But I adore that woman so I want to get her her movies, obsolete technology be damned.
You might want to tell her about bitrot, the pixels in her beloved collection will be dying randomly without her being able to notice.
On the other hand, it's not like a usb with fat32 is any better at all, or that a good backup system is easy to set up (maybe synology?).
