Webmaster Level: AllOften a website which hosts videos will have a common top-level page that groups conceptually related videos together. Such a page may be of interest to a user searching on that subject. Sites with many videos about a single subject can group these videos together on a top-level page, often known as a gallery. This can make it easier for users to find exactly what they're looking for. In this case, you can use a Sitemap to tell Google the URL of the gallery page on which each video appears.
You can specify the URL of the gallery level page using the optional tag <video:gallery_loc> on a per-video basis. Note that only one gallery_loc is allowed per video.

I am trying to figure out how to get these added still.
This is one thing I have ignored for long.
Can we add our Youtube videos to it also.
I did a bunch of work when Google announced support for the hRecipe microformat. My recipes now validate on the Webmaster Tool, yet they fail to show up in the search results as recipes.
I suspect Google is just catering their microformat support for the larger sites.
Fool me once...

Thank you.
Has anyone actually got this working?
