Hey I ran across this for the first time and thought it might be of interest here. Seems like it comes up pretty regularly- something like: "To hear it maxed at full resonance go to 4:14..." I never knew there was a way to link to specific times. Not sure if it can be embedded this way, but here's the info:
| Quote: | Question: How Do You Link to a Specific Part of a YouTube Video?
I really want to show someone part of a YouTube video, but I don't want them to have to sit through eight minutes of the boring parts. How do I just link to the part I want them to see?
Answer: If you want to create a link that starts at a specific point, all you have to do is add the time code to the end of the URL link.
The format you'll use is #t=1m30s. The first part #t= marks this as a time stamp. The second part is minutes and seconds, so 1m30s is 1 minute and 30 seconds into the video.
So if I wanted to link to part of a really long video, instead of telling everyone to scroll forward 15 minutes in order to skip the boring introductions, I could instead link them directly to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RluXxZyYDs#t=15m07s. |

| you can also right-click on the progress bar's circle button and there is an option to "copy URL" at that specific time, but it usually only works if you're viewing it on the YouTube website. sometimes when the player is embedded on another website, that feature isn't available. |
