Is there a video sharing service that supports embedded chapter markers?

Asked by benkreeger (92

I’ve got a screencast video that’s about an hour long that has embedded chapter markers in it (it’s MPEG-4) and I want to upload it to a website that supports parsing those chapter markers for viewers to use (with the embedded Flash video). However, I can’t seem to find one (I’ve been using Vimeo). Anybody know of one?

I know it isn’t exactly what you asked for but Youtube supports links with time codes. So if you wanted to, you could put a link to each chapter in the description text of the video. This would allow your viewers to jump directly to each chapter by clicking the corresponding link.

You do it by adding a string like #t=XXmYYs at the end of your Youtube link. This would start the video at XX:YY.

So if you wanted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY9eTihrKM0 to start at, say, 2:48, then just change the link to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY9eTihrKM0#t=2m48s
