>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?
