Burn a movie/DVD file to External USB DVDRW Drive

I recently bought Dell External USB DVD -RW drive, Model GP61NB60.  It came with PowertoGo software.

I want to copy and burn a movie/DVD from a USB Zip drive to a DVD -RW disc on this external drive and then use this burned DVD disc to watch the movie/DVD on my TV using the DVD player.

I copied the file via PowertoGo to the DVD -RW and then burnt it.  The burnt DVD works on the PC but it does not work on the DVD player for the TV.  It gives me an error.

What an I doing wrong?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  My email is <ADMIN NOTE: Email id removed per privacy policy>
