Google allows the passing of a time variable thru the URL, for example
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5590199362471569773&it=1600
where the "&it=1600" sets the video to begin at 1600 seconds.
The part I was interested in started at 26:40 where
(26*60)+40 = 1600 seconds so "&it=1600"
However I wasn't having any luck getting this to work with google embedded.
Turns out, the flash variable is different, instead of "it=" it's "initialTime="
so where FlashVars="" is null by default we change it to
FlashVars="initialTime=1600" in the embed code.
So if you've got a long video where the point of interest you'd like to share is later in the video you can set it to start at that time
If anyone knows how to do this with other hosts, I'd like to know, thanks.
