Hi Vijay, make sure you're using the old (flash based) vimeo embed code for the video and then use the sitemap below as a template for structuring yours. You need to fill in the gaps for anything written in bold italics.
<urlset xmlns="<a href=" http:="" www.sitemaps.org="" schemas="" sitemap="" 0.9"="">http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9” xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1"></urlset>
<loc>http://www.yourdomain.com/page-containing-video</loc>
video:thumbnail_lochttp://www.yourdomain.com/thumbnail-image</video:thumbnail_loc>
video:titleVideo Title</video:title>
video:descriptionVideo Meta Description</video:description>
<video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1">http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=_VIDEOIDNUMBER_video:player_loc></video:player_loc>
video:duration</video:duration>Length of video in seconds (number only) e.g. 267

Serge,
I'm afraid it does matter what platform you are using to host the videos - the platform will define a lot of elements of the sitemap and method of embedding is also incredibly important.
-
No it does not change. Does not matter what platform you are running, try try tools from the post above and you ' ll see

Hi Vijay,
I'll probide you with a sitemap template. Are you using Vimeo Pro? Or just a standard vimeo license?
Thanks,
Phil

Hey Vijay, I think that Vimeo won't change any things.Sometimes the only issue which you can get when the videos are streamed from Vimeo is the 'embed code' issue.
So from here you can get How do I Post Vimeo video . & If you get the embed code issue then Video Embed Issue will resolve the proble.
I hope that you will find the solution.

Hello Vjay, First of all a video sitemap is an XML file that tells search engines where videos can be found on a website. It helps search engines understand that it is indeed a video file, what the video content is, and what the technical specifications of the specific video are.
For more information or find the easy steps to create & submit a video site map , Please refer to the link.

Best Video Sitemap plugin for wordpress? And do I need both a video sitemap and a normal one?
Hi all, I currently use the Google XML Sitemaps plugin on my wordpress site. But we've recently began adding (self-hosted) videos that we've been careful to markup with the relevant schema. However, there's a couple of things I don't understand and am hoping someone could help: Do we need a separate video sitemap that either works alongside Google XML Sitemaps or replaces it? If we do need a video sitemap, what's the best video site map to get? (we are using the Thesis theme so can't use the Yoast one unfortunately as they don't play nice together...) Thanks for your help! Andrew

Video Embeding
I would like to ask if somebody know what is the best way to embed video on home page. I read that google does not read i frame. Also it is a problem if i have featured video on home page with link to post where is again the same video? Also it is not a problem if I plan to be changing the videos on the home page in period of the time 1-2months? Also, people can embed video from there, is this not a problem? Thank you for any advice

Video Transcription
Does anyone have any best practices for video transcription strategy. We download the file at youtube, edit it, remove the time and upload it again, where youtube adds the time according to the edited file I've seen some transcripts under the video section that have not time on that? Does anyone know how that's done? I've also seen keywords added into those? Any recommendations around that. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Best practice using Video to increase website pagerank?
Goal: Leverage videos to get links and traffic back to website not video hosting platform site (e.g. YouTube) to generate website leads **Issue: ** If we place a video on a website using video YouTube embed code and video sitemap for the crawlers to index our video DOES show up in search results BUT that link goes back to YouTube. Great for increasing views on YouTube but not increasing link popularity for client website. Question: What are recommendations / best practice for SEO (such as using another player like Viddler, etc.) that will get video results from search engines back to the website? We want to leverage videos to build links and generate leads to client site.
