We need more info about the file.
Use the Movie Inspector window to tell us more about it.

What are you trying to do with the file?
Select All and Copy using QuickTime Player Pro?
Move the file to another drive or partition using the Finder?

just move it off onto an external drive to clear space. i am just dragging it along with many others. most of them copy right over. this one and about 5 others - give me the error code 0 and wont copy.

The file format of the drive is getting in the way of the move.
FAT 32 drive format has a 4GB file size limit.
