    The problem is your videos are located on external source. (And yes, there is video sitemaps.) I don't think Google will accept videos located on 3rd party hosts? But I don't know for sure. I guess I should test that some day.

    Hi,

    I just tested it on www.xsitemap.com and it is making a sitemap of your pages by category: Fun Videoz; General Videoz ...

    Is this what you mean?

    I don't think any script will do better as as someone else said you are not hosting the videos.

    Trust this helps,

    Hi All:

    Actually Video Site map helps to displays the thumbnail image beside the search result when you search on Google.

    Thanks,

    You can also try newest version of A1SG which updated its support for video sitemaps. But it requires you host videos yourself.
