| At least with iMovie it does not make a difference. I routinely import several hours of video into the mac. iMovie will automatically (and seamlessly) breakup the movie into 1.9GB files (a little over 9 minutes). it is kind of annoying to have a lot of little clips, on the other hand it also makes it easy to find specific scenes....  |

| The only app I would trust for defragmentation is Plus Optimizer which comes with Disk Warrior from Alsoft.

| What about starting up in OS 9 and rebuilding the desktop from there? Will that do anything? I've tried it and I haven't noticed much difference.

| Rebuilding your desktop will not defrag your HD. |

| fyi... Rebuilding the Desktop in OS 9 simply makes sure that Documents are properly linked to their corresponding applications, and that they have icons which jive with the applications they're linked to. It has nothing to do with disk structure.

| If you are running HFS+ then you can defrag all you like. If you are running UFS, there is no need to do it as the filesystem is not setup the same way that ntfs, hfs+, fat32 are. In a nutshell, it may buy you some speed, it may not, the choice is yours. As for file size limits. I have never heard that ufs has 4gb limit on filesizes. I could be wrong but I have been around Freebsd for about 6 years now and haven't caught wind of that one.

| Well my system bombed, and I am awaiting the arival of my new drive, what disk format is better? I have used the HFS+ previously, but if the unix structure is better and more effeicent i will go with that. I do mostly video, flash, and image manipulation on my system, although that stuff is on a HFS drive. Can I mix formats like that?
