title: Record how far into a video a user hits the pause button
body: <p>I'm beginning to write a web app that will allow users to annotate embedded YouTube videos with certain events. I'd like the user to be able to pause the video, pull up a menu of candidate events (say, as a modal), and save the selected event along with the associated time in the video that the event occurred to a database. </p>
  
  <p>I don't know how to retrieve the time at which the pause button was pressed. </p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming that the YouTube API would be the place to go for this, but I've spent about two hours  exploring and finding no leads. Any advice for approach? Good accessible tutorials/examples of this suitable for beginners?</p>
