Can we load and show a part of a large video ?

Hi friends,
thank you for concern,

my question is “is it possible to only stream and show a part of a large video by using php or javascript ?
e.g. you have a video of 90 minutes but you only want to show from minute 20 to end of video”

Well, that is a loaded question. The answer is YES. But, it really depends on how you are playing the video.
Since there are a thousand movie playback systems in the world, you will have to let us know which one you are using. If it is a flashplayer, there will be options for the starting position. “Canned” video playback systems such as JWplayer have starting-position options also. Most players do have some sort of positioning available, but, how it is used depends on the player.

If you are using just HTML5 movie player, you can do it in Javascript with just a little added code.
Here is a link to someone who has done this:

Hope that helps…
