schema.org VideoObject → itemprop will not validate with W3C Validator

I am using the schema.org VideoObject for video on my webpages. However when I run the W3C Validator I get the following errors for each property:

The itemprop attribute was specified, but the element is not a property of any item.

This occurs for every item property show below:

<div class="video-wrapper-inner" itemprop="video" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/VideoObject">
            <meta itemprop="name" content="Name of the Video" />
            <meta itemprop="description" content="Description of the Video. " />
            <meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="../images/thumbnail.jpg" />
            <meta itemprop="embedURL" content="http://player.vimeo.com/external/123456.hd.mp4?s=ddddd44ssdd43d23rf" />
            <meta itemprop="duration" content="T1M10S" />
            <meta itemprop="uploadDate" content="2013-12-26T08:00:00+08:00" />
            <meta itemprop="transcript" content="Transcript from the video here." />

            <video poster="../images/thumbnail.jpg" controls><source src="http://video file location" type='video/mp4;codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' /></video>

</div>

By the way my web page is set up as follows: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

My question is, what is the correct markup to pass the W3C Validator.

The W3C Markup Validator complains because you use the video property on the div (VideoObject).

(See this question if this is an error at all: Is 'itemprop' without parent 'itemscope' valid? Does it create an item?)

Do you have a parent item that references this VideoObject via the video property? If so, add it to your page and validate again (the error should be gone). If you don’t have such a parent item, you could probably remove this property.
