can't delete a file from a DVD RW

I burned a .mov file to a DVD. When I try to delete it, I am told that I do not have perissions to delete it. The Get Info panel tells me that I can read the file only. Is there a way to change or prevent this?

Thanks

Use the Disk Utility to delete the disk, then you can reuse it. You can't remove one file at a time.

(If this is a DVD-RW) Otherwise, if you are trying to delete something on the harddrive, you have to be on the user that put it there in the first place.
