defragment
disc
Defragmenting a disc moves all of the content on a disc to
one location so that the total free space on a disc is
available for burning video. If unused space is scattered
on the disc, video burning software is unable to access it,
resulting in a loss of recording capacity of the disc. The
Defragment Disc utility allows you to recover this lost
space.
