Yes, you can jump to certain times within a video clip in a .smi file. I do
it on the CareerTV site (see links below). Create a .smi file with a video
and realtext sections. In the realtext, create a link like below. Ya?

The only way that I've found to cause a seek into a SMIL presentation is to
have the RealPlayer embedded in a web page, with the search results coming
up
in a different frame or browser window. Then you can use JavaScript
SetSource() and SetPosition() to load the file and locate the right
timestamp. It's clunky, but it works.
