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.

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.

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

Google Shopping in SERPS - What % of clicks do they get?
Howdy, Looking for any data we can get on the % of click through the shopping results are getting in Google SERPs. There are tons of variables: how many products & which position the shopping feeds and images are shown in but any hard data would be helpful. The background is that we have a client who ranks #1 in Google for a shopping related term and their organic traffic is down in 2011 for this main keyword which has ranked #1 all year since the shopping feeds are continually showing above or below the 1st Google position vs sporadic or no display in years prior. I.e. They aren't happy the traffic is down & we are looking for some data we can provide them with beyond, "Google shopping is now eating part of your organic traffic for that term". Many thanks in advance!!
