Not that odd if you are trying to represent a chunk of a file with a single url, which would be desirable if you were serving video manifest/playlist files like m3u8 (HLS) or f4m (HDS). IIRC Netflix is using HDS.

Edit: not sure what format they are using, probably several depending on the client... But one url per chunk makes sense for multiple delivery formats as well.
