How do I export SELECTED bookmarks to a flashdrive or CD so they can be viewed by someone else on their computer?

What I am trying to do is preserve selected bookmarked websites and their contents including videos (if possible) on a flashdrive or disc so they can be viewed by someone else in the future. All I can do right now is export all the bookmarks to a flashdrive where I only want to put selected ones on the drive. I would also like to know if the website marked drops it video (tv stations do this) does that mean it is lost to the drive as well. Thanks

To address the second part of your question:

Bookmarks are just stored URLs, so if the page changes, or disappears, the bookmark won't help in accessing the lost content. If you want to actually download and save content, that's a more involved process, but might be worthwhile in some cases.
