Just ignore that. It is just a strange windows explorer behaviour, no real problem.

It is, as already explained.
What do you want to achieve by copying a BLANK dvd? Or did you just mean something else?

"copy" is not working.

You need to open up a proper burning app like Nero and then burn something onto the disc.

Hmph, my Explorer DOES show it as a "Unidade de CD"(Portuguese OS), but the icon is a DVD one and the burner says it is a DVD, though.
