I would like to be able to specify a time for a YouTube video embedded into a webpage to start and stop as a way of offering just an excerpt instead of the whole thing. My code looks a lot like this:

Code:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/[youtuberef]"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/[youtuberef]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

It would be great if there were something like a passed variable that could do this (e.g., "&starttime=002105&endtime=002235") or some kind of attribute for the <param> or <embed> tag like starttime="002235" or something.
Is this doable? I know I could download the whole thing, chop it up, and offer the result, but I do not want to use that approach for a number of reasons. Instead, I want to just refer to a portion of something hosted on YouTube.

I don't think it's possible. It seems like YouTube would have to put it into their Flash applet, and I've never seen it done.

Darn. So I'm stuck d/l-ing the whole thing, chopping it up, and re-uploading it to my webserver? What a drag.
