Improve parsing of timestamps in youtube description to work for other formats #7

Currently, the regular expressions that we use to parse time stamps assume that they will have the following format:

for example, 1:47 Introduction to hash maps But there are other timestamp formats such as in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2CEgPsws3U). Can you improve the parsing logic to work with the format in that video? Also, are there other timestamp formats featured in other videos that we're not aware of?

I wonder if it's possible to create OTIO adaptor that reads in a Youtube description and processes it.
