Well, if the file is called avseq02.dat perhaps you should try:

root]# cp /media/cdrecorder/mpegav/avseq02.dat /video

and give us the error messages (if any)

I/O error usually means the data is corrupted on the source or the media is defective on the destination.
Are system messages reporting an error (dmesg) ?

sorry i worte filename avesq02.dat, and if filname mistake then i should get "file not found" error. this error is about I/0 you should also try this, because i copied this file from windows using same system, and i replaced several video disks, but getting same error in linux , while can copy it from windows

Again:
