    Matt Cutts shows us how to link to a youtube video at a certain point here:

    http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/link-to-youtube-minute-second/

    Its there any way to embed only a portion of a youtube video on your site? Is there a plugin for wordpress that will do this.

    EXAMPLE: I only want to embed a 3 second goal from a 3 minutes hockey highlight video!

    youtube never permits you to embed a portion of video. you have to embed full video, you cant just upload a portion of a video of ur desired minutes or seconds

    Why not use a delayed Gateway?

    Actually you can do it.....you just add a start and stop parameter to the embed code!

    <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-HeyB8SLlm0&hl=en&fs=1&start=07&end=09"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-HeyB8SLlm0&hl=en&fs=1&start=07&end=09" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>


    but the bummer is that the end part does not work! It just continues to play the rest of the video? Anyone know why?
