Comment 14 for bug 1179188

Because I am also affected, I tried to play around a bit, with some kind of successful result. Following scenario:
- imported a video from a dv-Camera (Container: AVI; Videoformat: DV, 720*576; Audioformat: PCM, Stereo)
- dragged Stream to Track 2
- deleted something of the video using Razor Tool
- tried to export with profile "DVD", Target "DVD-PAL", Video Profile "DV/DVD Widescreen PAL", Quality "High"

The problem occured after I tried to export the Video to ~/, to ~/Videos, and to an external drive with NTFS file system, mounted ad /media/andreas/NTFS_DRIVE/. Because the topic folder permissions came into my mind, I created a sub-folder in ~/Videos/ and to that location the export worked.

But it doesn't seem to be a permission problem (coupled with a bug, which determines permissions wrong), because I tried to set some different permissions and it was everytime possible to export to a subfolder of ~/Videos/. By the way, saving a project also seems to be affected. If I try to save a project to a location to which exporting is not possible, the project is also not stored. Even though it works in ~/Videos/foobar/. But if the project is stored there, the Video is also exported to that location. and only there, regardless of the selected location.

Thus, I summarise: to some folders, exporting works as expected, to some other folders it doesn't.
