A foolish librarian might tear the new book into sections just big enough to fit into the open
spaces on the shelf. This is would obviously be unwise. When you wish to refer to the book later
you will lose a lot of time locating and assembling its sections before you can read it.
How much better it would be to slide the remaining books closer together, combining all the free
space first. 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.
This process can take considerable time, so it’s not something you want to begin just before an
important event.
