Re: Linking to a time-stamped portion of a video resource

Hi Jason,

Although I have not read all the way through the spec, I believe that the "Media Fragments 1.0 (basic) specification" may indeed discuss this capability. The spec does not appear to have been updated recently, but you can find it at https://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags/

Subject: Linking to a time-stamped portion of a video resource

Dear colleagues,

For purposes of our media and transcript synchronization conversation
tomorrow, I've undertaken research online. It appears that some video
players support URIs with fragment identifiers that enable you to
specify a timestamp in a video. Thus, it should be possible to link to a
specific time offset.

According to the discussions that I read, only some media players
support this feature. I have not as yet found any reference to a
standard for it.
