Is this the kind of thing you're looking for, Gabriel?
Hi Eric thanks for replying. I submitted a VIDEO RSS URL there already from feedburner But it got rejected. Yahoo told me it was the wrong url. Should I send this one instead "http://www.website.com/video/video/rss?xn_auth=no"?
Yes, I think that is the right RSS feed for your Videos tab, although if I am wrong I will dig in a big further and try to be 100% sure. Does it not work?
Yup they rejected this one too "http://www.website.com/video/video/rss?xn_auth=no"?

Another great thing Ning can have is an easy way for us less tech savvy people to submit our Video feeds to Yahoo and create a video sitemap for Google. It's confusing
Hi Gabriel,
I tried mine and it too was rejected:
url : http://www.usfra.org/video/video/rss?xn_auth=no
Status : Following Errors found -
INVALID MRSS : no item found
Hmmm. I'm going to get someone here with some additional RSS-savvy to see if they can help diagnose this one. Stay tuned.
Thanks Eric
Hi Gabriel,

In this case Yahoo requires that the RSS feed contain enclosures (basically links) for the videos themselves. The RSS feed for videos on Ning Networks doesn't contain the videos as enclosures; this would enable the raw videos to be downloaded by the service or feed reader. Instead, the RSS feed contains links back to the video detail page and a thumbnail of the video. Adding the videos as enclosures is something we may look at doing if there is demand for it, but it means that a network's videos can be downloaded and viewed independently from visits to the network itself.
Hmm okay thank you Phil, I just wish I knew how to do it. I read an article about Video SEO and how it can bring even more traffic to your website that's why I want to find out how to do this.

That could also mean even more traffic and new network creators for Ning when they see the "create a Ning network" at the top for those creators who still have it showing
