Windows XP Pro.
File dn008.0318.mp4 had been downloaded from democracynow.com by Miro.exe.
451,294 KB, about 6,264 fragments.
Windows defrag couldn't defrag it (or severals other video files.) Piniform defraggler showed 3 fragments after defragging it, but the message window said:
"defrag complete, no files were defraggmented."
Analysis confirmed file as having 3 fragments. The file played correctly in Quicktime media player and other players.
Please help me understand:
Q1 - How can a file become so fragmented?
Q2 - Why can windows not defrag it but Piniform Defraggler can defrag it?
Q3 - Why does Defraggler say that no files were defraggmented?
Information will be appreciated,

Need advice on Defragging options

Windows XP Pro SP2
I download 1 hour videos, like file dn008.0318.mp4 from democracynow.com using the video player Miro.exe.
The 451,294 KB, file typically has 6,300 fragments.
Windows defrag couldn't defrag them. Piniform Defraggler showed 3 fragments after Defragging it.
But I notice the options for
"defrag freespace" and
"defrag freespace (allow fragmentation)"
What are some guidelines for choosing when to use these options?
Advice will be appreciated,
Stan Hilliard
