My favorite video magazine, Videomaker, has its annual Camcorder Buyer's Guide out in the just-released December edition. And as the guide's author Randy Hansen states, "in video, if there's one constant, it's change." Like so much of electronics, do you buy today or wait a few months for the price to drop and/or for extra storage and capabilities to be added.
It's a very comprehensive guide, covering a wide range of camcorders, including those that start as low as $50 and skyrocket to the "if you have to ask" range. For me - I'm asking...and I have to! And there are lots of choices in the various categories - not like the choices for defragmenting a computer, of which I find very few if any (insert grin).
But unlike a disk defrag utility, where you'll receive regular updates to the software, a camcorder is typically an investment that you will hold onto for quite a long time, as is - barring add-on accessories.
We get emails from people every week who are video editors and videographers of all types - just starting out and professionals. The more anyone performs video editing on their computer, the more they realize the importance of a disk defragmenter program like PerfectDisk. The video editing gets them better videos; disk defragmentation makes it all easier, from a faster PC to better use of their PC's space through free space consolidation and things like duplicate file removal. It really acts as a disk cleanup program as well.
If this upcoming holiday shopping season includes shopping for a camcorder, I'd recommend taking a look at this guide before you spend your money. And of course, once you start taking those videos and editing and storing them, I'd recommend maximizing your investment with the necessary software to keep your computer performing like new.

As the National Football League continues negotiations on a new labor agreement, many issues need to be addressed in order to reach an agreement and avoid a strike or lockout two years out. And the urgency increases, as this week NFL commissioner Roger Goodell indicated that he'll participate in the latest round of labor negotiations with the players' union today in New York, along with NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith.
As both sides' lawyers and representatives crunch numbers and perform the research necessary to make their cases, it wouldn't seem that something as mundane as Windows defrag software or a disk cleanup program would come into play. And perhaps in the big scheme of things, they don't.
But when the NFLPA (NFL Players Association) goes about the backend of their business, they don't mess around. They use PerfectDisk. As do many NFL teams. In fact, the Seattle Seahawks take it a step further, as they defrag Exchange and compact their data stores with PerfectDisk Exchange.
Pro labor. Pro business. Pro fast defragmentation.
