am trying to save my video clips to my filesystem but it wont let me. says make sure you have the correct file permissions. no idea what i have to do

any ideas plzz

Regular users dont have permission to save files outside their home folder ( /home/user_id ). I would suggest you not to save files in any other place.

Are you trying save files in other Partition? You have to give permissions for that too.

You have a lot of free space in / partition. Could you post exact error message that devede throws?
