From what I understand, Sitemaps (including Video Sitemaps) don't come
from RSS feeds.
There is a special file called sitemap.gz file. For example, if
you're video blog is at...
http://example.com/
Then your sitemap is at...
http://example.com/sitemap.gz
Or... if your video blog is at...
http://example.org/myvlog/
Then your sitemap is at...
http://example.org/myvlog/sitemap.gz
The .gz at the end of the file implies it is a GZip compressed file.
If you were to uncompress it you get an XML file in a special format.
That special format is the Sitemap format.
Now RSS and the Sitemap format are both XML-based formats. But
they're different. As different as RSS is from HTML.
This sitemap.gz file has to give a FULL listing of all the pages of
you video blog... and not just one or a few of them. All of them.
(I don't know if any of that info helps you.)
But anyways...
What software are you running your video blog on?
Are you using WordPress?
See ya

funny you should ask. I have seen it and started to institute it, but
I can't get it to work with dynamic webpages. ( even though I hand
coded it into the rss feed.) I am not sure however if google is
reading that particular rss feed. So... I took it off for the moment
and would love to see someone else do it

Did I just miss this when it was announced about Google Video Sitemaps?

It seems like a way to get video thumbnails to show up on the Google
search results pages. (Like how it already does for YouTube videos.)
Is anyone using this yet on their video blogs?
Coming soon to Show in a Nox? :-)
