Start a YouTube Video at a Certain Time - Revisited

I know this lesson has been posted before, but it seems that either YouTube or VS have changed the parameters around getting a video to start at a certain time.



I'm trying to modify my VS-verified embed code (which I've had to remove some "<"'s from in order to have the text appear below - so forgive me if this is even more confusing now:

{{open bracket}}
object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="500" height="401">

{{open bracket}}

param name="movie" value="h tee tee p://www.youtube.com/v/gbYYJF0c4VA?version=3&controls=1&fs=1&border=0&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy=3&loop=0&egm=0&rel=0&showsearch=0&modestbranding=0&showinfo=0"/>

{{open bracket}}

param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/>


{{open bracket}}

embed src="h tee tee p://www.youtube.com/v/gbYYJF0c4VA?version=3&controls=1&fs=1&border=0&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy=3&loop=0&egm=0&rel=0&showsearch=0&modestbranding=0&showinfo=0"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
allowfullscreen="true"
allowscriptaccess="always"
width="500" height="401"/>


{{closed bracket}}



Using the 'start time' code in the embed, with both "&" or ";" doesn't seem to work anymore - the code just reverts back to how it appears above when I validate or submit.

you can use &_lt; without the _
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="500" height="401">


Sorry - can you elaborate with an example - still not including the revision when I validate.

This site lets you start in the middle of vid, with the whole vid still there so anyone can start at the beginning if they want to.

@eric3579 's link chops the vid into just the piece you want.

I use both sites, depending on what I want to do.

(Both of these sites were recommended to me from others on the Sift -- unfortunately so long ago, I don't remember who it was now. Thanks, whoever!)

The only downside to these sites is you have to have the correct star power to be able to use them.

I wonder if @dag would allow these sites to be sources of vids for lower star levels? Since both of them only allow YouTube vids to be spliced or chopped?
