Windows 8 Recovered video file write-protected

[persius]

I recently recovered a deleted video file. I'm attempting to move it to my backup drive but the following message appeared (attachment included).
I don't recall ever having this issue in the past so I'm not sure what I need to do to fix it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

   • Next to the owner's name, select Change.
   []Enter New Owner:
   • Enter your username and click Check Names. Once you've confirmed it, click OK.
