It is possible to implement it using JavaScript - you can read location.hash and seek() video appropriately. This however is a little help to users who want to bookmark videos or share links to certain parts of them - without a standard way of doing it UA's won't be able to provide UI for it. Even if you implement that for yourself using UserJS, you won't be able to share those links, etc. -- regards, Kornel Lesi?ski
