 First of all, thanks for your time.

 I'd like to note that if I try to open a segment directly, not using the
 malformed playlist file, it also plays incorrectly.
 Lets suppose you are only interested on reviewing the fifth segment and
 you open it with any of the players I stated above, you will have 20
 seconds of nothing before the clip starts to play, best case scenario, and
 in Quicktime case 5 seconds of black screen and then nothing. (assuming
 the clips were of five seconds each).

 I would ask, please, that you reopen the ticket, for the list format is
 only affecting this issue obliquely.
