I'm still a novice computer user because they weren't around when I was in school & the reason I got into computers was because I moved from the Western USA where there were several casino's with "live" poker games to GA where there is no "live" poker.
One thing I learned here was how to put a youtube video into a post instead of using the link to the Youtube video.
I'm curious to know if I can put a shortened Youtube video into a post. Say the video is 8 minutes long & you only want people to see the last 2 minutes of it. I know u could tell people to just move the slider to the 6 minute part.
I'd like to know if there is a way to shorten the 8 minute video to just show the last 2 minutes. So it looks like it is a 2 minute video.
The easiest way is to start the YouTube video from the point you want, 6 mins in.
Play the video on YouTube and go to the point you want, then pause the video. Right click and select Copy video url at current time. Use that url to post in the forum.
Add e.g. "?start=61&end=90" after the youtube-code of the video to let it start at 1:01 and end at 1:30. The "&end=..." is needed. If you want it to run until the end set that value to 0. Quote this post to see how it's done.

The end parameter is not necessary. It also doesn't work the way you describe it. But you have to terminate the last parameter (because 2p2 adds ?rel=0 at the end). # or & will do it.
Examples:
[youtube]kqbqINoDzSU?start=61[/youtube] starts at the beginning
[youtube]kqbqINoDzSU?start=61&[/youtube] starts at 61
[youtube]kqbqINoDzSU?start=61&end=63[/youtube]
[youtube]kqbqINoDzSU?start=61&end=63#[/youtube] starts at 61 ends at 63
This is indeed a powerful tool; maybe this thread should be locked and hidden somewhere.
I was wondering why noone documented how to use these features using BBCODE. I found basically nothing on the Internet except stuff on how to setup BBCODE parsers, so this might not be standard anyway.
