Diskeeper is a fully automatic defrgmentation engine that replaces the standard Windows defragmenter which runs only manually, consumes high resoureces and rewquires full administrator privileges to operate. Diskeeper constantly monitors and maintains your systems maximum performance, using the fastest defrag engine. According to the National Software Testing Lab (NSTL) proven 300-500% faster and far more thorough than Windows built-in defragmenters. The program includes a unique `Set It and Forget It` functionality with Smart Scheduling, that, once set, runs invisibly and fully automatic in the background. In addition, the Frag Guard feature helps prevent fragmentation in your most critical system files. Additional features include boot-time defrag, priority settings as well as the ability to defrag multiple disks automatically and simultaneously while system is in use. Diskeeper Corporation announces the release of new Diskeeper®2008, the most automated performance enhancement defragmenter ever built. New features include the ability to defrag in the most extreme levels of low free space or the highest levels of crippling file fragmentation. Intelligent defrag dynamically chooses which software engine will net the most performance gains on a given system or environment. This is all done completely transparently, in real time, tapping the full power of otherwise unused idle resources with a highly advanced background processing technology called, InvisiTasking™.
So important is Diskeeper to the world of computing that it was named among the Top 5 products that everyone should have on their computer systems or networks.
Every machine suffers from file fragmentation1. Past solutions included resource-heavy "one pass" or manual approaches. With advancing technology, these have since become antiquated and replaced by more modern background processing technology. Using Diskeeper 2008’s revolutionary InvisiTasking, defragmentation operations now take place "on the fly", in real time, as fragmentation occurs. This means no performance degradation is ever caused by fragmentation related build-up—giving the user a constant maximum in speed and reliability at all times.
Diskeeper 2008 also introduces the most powerful defragmentation engines ever developed. Even on systems with as little as 1% free space available, Diskeeper can restore performance and reliability. New engines also handle crippling levels of file fragmentation numbering in the millions, as seen at large enterprise sites with massive server traffic.
And lastly, the "brains" behind Diskeeper 2008 contain an intelligent defrag function that detects volume and system conditions (e.g. low free space or heavy fragmentation) and dynamically chooses the most effective software engine to net performance gains on that system. As with all Diskeeper operations, this too takes place automatically, on the fly, in real time. Hands down, Diskeeper 2008 is the most intelligent real time defragmenter ever built.
All of this takes place using Diskeeper’s innovative InvisiTasking background processing technology. This taps the full power of otherwise idle resources to ensure maximum performance and reliability at all times. Once Diskeeper 2008 is deployed, a system runs faster and more stably—period.
1 Fragmentation: a condition caused by users writing, deleting and resizing their computer files on the hard drive. This causes the files to be become scattered or “fragmented” into many pieces. The more fragmented these pieces of information are in, the longer it takes the computer to read them. Fragmentation is a major cause of performance degradation on computers.
About Diskeeper Corporation—Innovators in Performance and Reliability TechnologiesTM: With over 26 million licenses sold, home users to large corporations rely on Diskeeper software to provide unparalleled performance and reliability to their laptops, desktops and servers. Diskeeper Corporation further provides up-to-the-minute data protection and instant file recovery with Undelete®.

Complete file and free space defragmentation defragmentation in the most extreme of conditions— even if your systems have only a one or two percent of free space left available or a file in millions of fragments, Diskeeper 2008 can restore lost performance and save the applications reliant on those files from major reliability failures. * NEW! "Defragmentation Intelligence" enhancements —Diskeeper’s logic controller, which detects various volume and system conditions and chooses the most effective algorithm, has been re-designed to deliver performance benefits faster and more efficiently. * NEW!

Cyberlink Powerdirector 6 is a video editing and production suite aimed at the home video market. It’s very easy to use and supports capture, editing and export of high-definition video formats. All home video editing programs follow the convention of dividing the whole process into chronologically ordered tasks and providing the necessary tools for each - Powerdirector is no exception.
Four buttons ranged across the top of the screen provide everything you need to capture and edit video footage, produce video files for distribution and create video DVDs. Most of the action occurs in the edit module, which, like every other aspect of the Powerdirector workspace, is well-designed, allowing you to easily find your way around without needing to refer to the Help option. There’s a choice of storyboard or timeline layout, the latter providing a master video track, effects track, picture-in-picture overlay track, a titling track and voiceover and music audio tracks.
If the effort of arranging clips and applying transitions is all too much, Powerdirector’s Magic Movie Wizard will do it all for you, but don’t expect miracles. We were a little disappointed with the pedestrian array of templates on offer and the wizard’s inability to cut clips to the beat of the music backing produced stilted, disjointed results.
In addition to new effects, transitions and titles, the PiP (Picture in Picture) Object Room provides a library of overlay graphics including frames and clipart. These can be animated using keyframed motion paths so you can, for example, have suitcase and travel ticket graphics wend their way erratically across the screen, most likely overlaying footage of you waiting for your luggage to appear on the carousel at Ibiza airport, long after everyone else has left for their hotel.
Voiceover recording exemplifies the program’s straightforward approach. All you need to do is position the play head in the timeline where you want to begin your voiceover and press the record button, say your piece, then press stop. You can elect to set a time limit and add fade-in and fade-out, but that’s as complicated as it gets.
The Produce button opens a production wizard which provides file output options including write bask to DV or HDV tape and upload to Youtube and Mediamax sharing websites. Windows Media Video, Realvideo and Quicktime streaming formats are also supported.
Before pressing the Create Disc button you need to do some preparation, not only editing your footage, but adding chapter markers that are subsequently used to create the DVD menu structure. Once again, this is made easy in the Chapter Room, where you can have chapters created automatically at the start of each clip, or add them yourself manually. You can now also name chapters.
Powerdirector’s DVD authoring takes footage from the storyboard or timeline, automatically creating a chapter-based menu system. We’ve criticized previous versions of the program for lacking menu customization and Cyberlink has addressed this by introducing a Menu Designer which allows you, among other things, to change the background image, re-arrange the layout, add buttons and change their appearance.
The supplied style templates are a bit cheesy, but there’s a good range and each offers several layout options, so you can organise movies with lots of chapters onto menu pages with multiple buttons. You can’t redirect menu buttons, for example to go to sub menus, or to return to the top menu after playing a scene, so this isn’t the application to use for kiosk-style DVD presentations.
Free the director within using new tools and templates : * DVD Template Designer - 29 new designs, moveable buttons, text and color tools let you create stylish menus for your movie DVDs * Slideshow Wizard - New styles for presenting photos let you turn a folder of image files into a dynamic slideshow in minutes * Animated PiP Designer - New alpha-blended objects and a motion path generator create dramatic PiP effects to enhance your video content * Video Subtitle Room - Easily inserted directly on the screen or imported as text, new video subtitles offer an easy way to caption scenes and describe video content
