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?

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

What you described is a RWD (rear wheel drive) burnout. In cars which have the rear wheels connected to the engine, pressing the front brakes just hard enough to stop the front wheels from rolling away and revving the engine up enough to overpower the rear brakes is how you do a standing burnout. Rear brakes are weaker, because when braking, the car’s weight shifts forward and the rear wheels lose grip easily.
There is a part that drag racers use called a line lock, which fully applies the brakes to the front wheels, but leaves the rear ones alone to do a burnout. That’s how you can heat your rear tires up fast before a drag race.
Front wheel drive cars have a “line lock” by default because the handbrake holds the rear wheels while you can spin the front wheels freely. Holding the brake and gas at the same time doesn’t work well on FWD cars.
All wheel drive cars can’t really do a standing burnout unless you anchor them to a wall or something, because all of their wheels have to spin at once, so no wheel can hold them stationary
