Wow... that's terrible. How full is this filesystem?
For reference, looking at a backup drive:
# ls -lh homefs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11G Oct 22 00:15 homefs
# xfs_bmap homefs|wc -l

How large are these files?

XFS will try to minimize fragmention, however, the ability for it to
do this is thwarted if the filesystem gets very full. Might this be
the case for you?
If the filesystem was previously very full, but not has a fair amount
of space available, you could try "xfs_fsr -v -d xxxx.avi" or similar.
