windows encountered a problem when trying to copy this file

Hi,

I have just bought a new blank DVD-RW designed for a video camera.
I have a file (mpeg) that I want to transfer from my PC onto this DVD - (which I will then place in my DVD player for viewing)

When I try to drag the file from my PC onto the DVD I get the error "windows encountered a problem when trying to copy this file" and it fails.

WHY?
I managed to do this a few days ago with a different DVD on the same PC.
