Yes, and when you do that, you are inverleaving data from multiple files
into a single stream, which you really shouldn't be doing.  IIRC, XFS
has special io streaming modes specifically designed to *prevent* this
from happening and record multiple video streams simultaniously to
different parts of the disk to keep them from being fragmented to hell
like that.
