Start YouTube Video At Specific Time

Google Blogoscoped blog has a tip on starting videos at a specific time.

I thought it would be useful for some videos, such as the popular "5th grade reporter asks Joe Biden "What a does a VP do?" where the pertinent point of the video is 3m45s (or 225 seconds) in to the video.

Essentially you add:
&start=225
to two parts of the embed code of the video after:
&fs=1

I've posted an example of it working here, where I start the video 15 seconds in:

I know it's a bit technical, but I've come across some videos that would greatly benefit from this tweak. Perhaps those who are familiar with embed tweaking can give this tip in some comments to the videos.

Just a thought.
