Thanks for the explanations regarding how MOV and MP4 files work. I have tried to capture the essence at http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/wiki/Issues#URI_Fragment_.2F_URI_Query It would be great to extend the special case for these two formats a bit further, detailing what would be the interaction between the user agent and the server for accessing, for example, the video sequence from 3'35 sec till 5'45 sec of a 10' video resource. We can take a real mov file available on the web (a movie trailer?) for making this use case real. Is a schema/drawing appropriate to model this interaction? Does someone volunteer to draft a new wiki page? Best regards.
