1.
For example this site:
http://eopas.rnld.unimelb.edu.au/transcripts/48#t=23.0,28.62
(you will have to accept the cookie to get in and then reload that url)

This site publishes ethnographic audio & video recordings and allows jumping
directly into segments of the content by start/end time. This is not only used
for playback and research, but also for quoting when publishing research.


2.
Also this site:
http://metavid.org/w/index.php?title=Stream:senate_proceeding_02-04-11/0:00:25/0:01:45&tl=1

This site publishes long videos (recordings of senate sittings) and allows
direct access and embedding of snippets.

While the URL scheme does not conform to the spec of the W3C Media Fragments
WG, the idea is the same: have a start and end time in the URL.


3.
Then of course there's the whole use case collection in the requirements doc,
e.g.
- search result:
http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/WD-media-fragments-reqs/#scenario1.1 
- pagination:
http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/WD-media-fragments-reqs/#scenario2.1
- play bookmark fragments:
http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/WD-media-fragments-reqs/#scenario2.2
- fragment mashup:
http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/WD-media-fragments-reqs/#scenario3.3
