Same Video on Multiple Pages and Sites... Duplicate Issues?

[SEOPA]

We're rolling out quite a bit of pro video and hosting on a 3-party platform/player (likely BrightCove) that also allows us to have the URL reside on our domain.

Here is a scenario for a particular video asset:

A. It's on a product page that the video is relevant for.

B. We have an entry on our blog with the video

C. We have a separate section of our site "Video Library" that provides a centralized view of all videos. It's there too.

D. We eventually give the video to other sites (bloggers, industry educational sites etc) for outreach and link-building.

A through C on our domain are all for user experience as every page is very relevant, but are there any duplicate video issues here? We would likely only have the transcript on the product page (though we're open to suggestions).

Any related feedback would be appreciated. We want to make this scalable and done properly from the beginning (will be rolling out 1000+ videos in 2010)

This may answer your question..

Duplicate content primarily refers to unique texts  (articles). The primary way Google indexes video is by video XML sitemap...the XML sitemap entry tells google what the video is about. The XML sitemap points the video to one specific page.

Example: Wood stain video resides on a deep page and is indexed by google to that page. But the same wood stain video is embedded on the main landing page for this painting contractor site.

re: transcript..I would change the text or at minimum add additional text to the transcript so that each page has unique text.
