I understand that in addition to video sitemaps, a transcription of a video, if presented properly will help google and may help SEO. I cannot find information on the basics to add transcription properly to a page. Advice or direction appreciated.

Looking for guidance or information on the nuts and bolts of how to use transcriptions with video.

I think you were looking for info on a transcription? Here is the info for creating a transcription:

Add a time-coded transcript to each video file that you uploaded saved as a .txt file

The time of each segment should be listed in the following format: HH:MM:SS.mmm according to Google

HH: Hours starting at 00

MM: Minutes starting at 00

SS: Seconds starting at 00

mmm: Milliseconds starting at 000

Here's an example of how the time-coded transcript should appear:

7:36:40.000

Words said between 07:36:40.000 and 07:36:43.000

7:36:43.000

Words said between 07:36.43.000 and the next segment.

7:36:44.000

Words said at 07:36:44.000

Each timestamp is in relation to the start of the associated video file

Here is the link from Google specifically about transcription: http://www.google.com/video/upload/video_transcripts.html

Learned a ton about video sitemaps.  Still ignorant about practices when using transcription with video.  Was it in there and I just missed it?  Thanks for helping with sitemaps.
