Bookmarkable videos

    Does anyone know of a script or a way to make a program so you can bookmark points in a video, say if you see something you like at 1min 23 secs you can bookmark it and send a link to someone so the video shoots straight to 1min 23 secs when they click on it?

    I told someone the other day I don't think it's possible at the moment, but since then I've begun to wonder and think it would be a pretty cool thing to have.

    That's possible.
    Just make a custom flash player.The player will get a variable form php and the video will begin from the specified point.
    Will be something like this : player.php?time=1:23 (so you will send the url example.com/player.php?video=vid&time=1:23)
    The player will get the variable "time" from php and the video will go to 1:23.
    Also this can be done with javascript I think.

    // Youtube have this option so is 100% possible.

    Cool, I didn't know that Youtube did it. I don't actually intend making something like this at the moment but it's interesting to know it's possible. Adding rep. :)

    i like da part 0:23

    Click on the time ( 0:23 ) and the video will go to 0:23.
    This is pretty easy to implement if you know little actionscript and php/javascript.
