Any chance of an MP4 version of Carsten's Google Tech talk being
produced and uploaded to a public place, with a wget-able URL? It
would be trivial to add to this tutorial - or to some other - the code
to download it and to make mplayer play it from given positions...

  http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-audiovideo-intro.html

and integrating into Org the feature described there - namely: with a
certain minor mode activated `M-p' opens the current default video at
the first time offset of the current line - should be little more than
a 10-line hack...

Btw, that would make indices of time offsets in videos like the one in

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-screencasts/org-mode-google-tech-talk.org.html

trivial to execute. I don't have (yet) the skills to make things like
=1:23= become active links that do that in Org, though.
