iPhoto 5 or later: "Error occurred while exporting the slideshow" message

When you choose Send to iDVD or Export from the Share menu in iPhoto 5 or later, there's certain circumstances in which you might get a message that says, "An error occurred while exporting the slideshow."

This can happen if you rename, move, or delete the Movies folder found in your home directory; because iPhoto tries to save to the Movies folder specifically. To resolve this issue, put the Movies folder back in your home directory (or create a new one if necessary).

This can also happen with some versions of Norton Anti-Virus. Try temporarily disabling Norton Antivirus to see if it helps.
