#t=2m25sWhere “2m” indicates 2 minutes and the “25s” indicates 25 seconds. So, the following will cause the video to begin playing at 2:25 of the video:

This method only works for directly linking to YouTube videos. But, what if you want to start an embeded YouTube video at a certain point? That's simple as well.
First, grab the video embed code after specifying your desired settings.
It will look something like this:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
You need to add the command &start=145 (for this example we are using 145 seconds, which is the same as 2 minutes, 25 seconds) to the end of both URLs in the embed code. It will look like this:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&start=145"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&start=145" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Don't believe me? Just click the embeded video below and see for yourself.

This is incredible. I have seen a lot written about how to start youtube videos at a certain point, but this is the easiest to follow. It's so easy a caveman could do it! Thanks powercram!
