Yes, she can. It's just a simple file copy. But why go to the trouble
of burning a DVD with the risk of damage in the post and not just send
her a flash drive in the first place? It's smaller, less likely to get
damaged in the post and can easily have a larger capacity and cuts out
the time you both take at each end to copy to/from the DVD.
You can certainly format with FAT32 up to 32GB in size but you have to
watch out for very large files. Individual files over about 4GB will
break
