• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I didn't even know you could do that until I did some research. It's actually rather easy. You know how you have a link to a youtube video - that has the video ID at the end

ie:
Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_JFCBDdPq4

All you have to do is append a little code to get it to start where you want.

the code is:

#t=XmYs

where you replace X and Y with values representing where you want to start the video. Using the link above, if I did:

Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_JFCBDdPq4#t=1m30s

That would start the video at 1 minute 30 seconds

This is the article I read to get this information:
How to specify a starting point on a Youtube or Google Video
