Google just launched a new feature for webmasters called Google Video Sitemaps. For the longest time you were forced to add your video to YouTube or Metacafe so this is definitely a big step in Google being able to index video. If you want the video on your site to be searchable via Google Video then you’ll want to create one of these. Google can crawl all of these file types: .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .mov, .wmv, .asf, .avi, .ra, .ram, .rm, .flv. Below are the links from Google on common questions and steps.
