Question

What software are you using for the external DVD burner? Is there no option in the software to change it?

Thumbs up

I use Roxio and that allows you to select a DVD-burner (if you have two of them). Nero should also have this option too.

If you don't want to buy Roxio or Nero, the website below has software (demo, shareware and freeware) available to use, worth a go.
