create URL link to specific spot in the video?
I know you can use Vegas Command markers to cause the viewer to jump to a URL link while watching a video, but I want to do the opposite – Create a set of topic links that would allow the viewer to jump to that part of the video where the topic of interest starts. I think there must be a way to do this with a single longer video rather than rendering the short topic segments, but I’m not sure how. If I did render the short segments, is there a way to make them play in sequence automatically? I know how to do this in DVD Architect, but not for files going on a website.
Thanks much for any thoughts on this.

Apparently, it is possible to set up links to certain time stamps in embedded YouTube videos on a page, but my project is for a university website which has it’s own Flash streaming server, so I was hoping to avoid YouTube. Link to the YouTube info:

Find the documentation on the player the university is using. It may include the keyword that will position the video at a specific place. Most players have them as an optional parameter.
