• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

There's more than enough space, the guy said it's both Mac and PC compatible.

It's actually an old iMovie compressed into a full quality Quicktime movie that I am giving to an old friend as a gift for a Japanese friend with a PC but when I drag it onto the usb I get:

The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0).

Please help!

If it's Mac and PC compatible, it's probably formatted at FAT32 which has a limitation on file size. Make sure the QT movie is less than 4GB. If it's larger, get a bigger hard disk.
