I have seen plenty of videos on youtube with cars, usually more powerful ones, that can do burnout. Some explain that, to do such, you have to apply acceleration and press slightly on the breaks pedal, not the handbreak. How do the wheels from one axle keep spinning if the brake pads apply pressure to the discs for them too?

If the car has enough power, and can accelerate quickly enough, you can do a burn out with only the accelerator. This is because the weight of car, combined with the “acceleration” of gravity to create a down force (force = mass x acceleration), is greater than the friction of the tires to the road. This causes the tires to spin.

Because all four wheels have brakes.
But in cars that do burnouts, only the rear wheels are getting driven by the engine, they are rear wheel drive cars.
So, when you press the brakes, the brakes close on all four tires. But when you press the gas, only the rear wheels start spinning.
So the goal is to press the breaks enough to keep the car from rolling forward, but not too hard that you lock up the back tires from spinning in place and burning out.

When doing a burnout you typically don’t brake. If your car is powerful enough you just need to press the clutch, rev up and let go of the clutch. The wheels will start spinning and won’t have enough traction to actually get the car moving
You don’t need breaks to do a proper burnout. You just increase the revs and dump the clutch…
