Contiguous:
Immediately adjacent. For example, contiguous sectors on a disk are sectors that come one after the other. Frequently, a file stored on disk can become fragmented, which means that it is stored on non-contiguous sectors.

So one could assume that the difference is that contiguous files are files that are stored immediately adjacent from one another (together) and non-contiguous files are not stored adjacently hence are separated or scattered.
Hope this was of some help.
They are called FRAGMENTED files

perpetual last forever and active are files prior to staging
Data files are data whereas data records are backups.
The difference in file size between MOV and MP4 video files is generally minimal, with MP4 files typically being slightly smaller due to their more efficient compression methods.
Audio files are place into Audio tracks in video editing programs.
m2ts files are raw and uncompressed.
Disk Defragmentation
Datafile is a group of files in each table space in an Oracle database. Database files are all files that are found within the database.
The process that consolidates files into contiguous clusters is called defragmentation. When files are created, modified, or deleted, they can become fragmented, meaning their data is scattered across non-contiguous clusters on the disk. Defragmentation rearranges the data, moving fragments together to create a single, continuous block, which improves access speed and overall system performance. This process is typically performed by specialized software or built-in system tools.
