e.g. 755 - convert each digit to binary -> 111 101 101 so the owner can do everything, the group and guests can only read & execute. For a folder to be writable, you need the relevant digit to be 6 or 7.
Of course if the third digit is less than 6, then you need to work out whether the user is the owner or a member of the owning group :-) (I have no idea how to do this without using shell.)
Perhaps a simpler solution is just to try writing a tiny text file. If that fails, you know the folder is locked for the current user. If it succeeds, you can delete the test and write your movie file.

Hi Folks,
I am looking for a way to determine if a directory is locked before trying to save a movie or sound file to it.
Thanks,
