Well, since I have not received any replies, I would like to give the 
answers myself. I guess I did not supply you with enough data. First 
of all: the above works well on QT 6.0.2 as well, but the original 
data have to be converted in another way. Since my original data come 
from milliseconds (video stored on a laser disc), with QT 5.0.2 I had 
to convert them as follows: tFromNumber*600/1000 and 
tToNumber*600/1000.  With QT 6.0.2 I have to convert the original 
milliseconds:  tFromNumber*90 and tToNumber*90. Don't ask me why, but 
it works.
