Unfortunately, computers are ‘foolish librarians’. They tend to want to fill in all the gaps in their
storage areas, even if it means literally shredding your ‘book’ (in reality large video files from
your TriCaster™ sessions) into tiny fragments.
Defragmenting the storage volume has the same effect as sliding the books together, resulting in
one or more larger gaps. The end result is that TriCaster™ doesn’t have to frantically search in
many different places to assemble the video streams from your recorded session.
Hint: Defragmentation can sometimes take considerable time, so it’s not something you want to
begin just before an important event.
