file too deep indicates that your path name is more than the set amount of characters. just do this - copy the mpg file to your c:\ drive. then move it from there to the usb drive.
good luck

the path of where the file is is too long for the flash drive to read......try moving the file to a shorter address (i.e. instead of something like c:\documents and settings\user\my documents\saved\pictures\Idaho\day one\see this\file)
Move it the Desktop or create a new folder on the root drive (c:\new folder) and try that.

sounds like your outta room....try deleting some stuff (and emptying trash after deleting) then try copying file again
