The files for an audiobook must be submitted to OverDrive via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), separate from the Local Content form for the audiobook title. Please contact your Account Manager (whose contact information is listed under the Marketplace Support tab) for your specific FTP instructions.

Please follow these guidelines when submitting an audiobook:

• The MP3 should be encoded at 128kbps or above.
• The MP3 audiobook should be submitted as a .zip file. As a best practice, please use the book's title as the file name.
• Your audio source should be separated into multiple tracks with track breaks occurring at logical breaks in the audio (such as chapters), as if it were to be commercially distributed on CD. Individual tracks cannot exceed 79 minutes in length.
• Tracks must be labeled so that they sort in order natively on the Windows OS. Using numbers (e.g. 01, 02 � 10, 11, etc.) at the beginning of each track works great to ensure the tracks sort in the correct play order for the encoding process.

Ebook files can be uploaded directly to the Local Content form. Once you select one or more ebook format(s) and click Continue, you can use the Browse button to upload each format. The maximum file size is 100 MB.

When you submit an EPUB ebook through Local Content, we will also make that title available to your users in the OverDrive Read format. You can learn more about creating ebooks in the EPUB format here.

The files for a video title must be submitted to OverDrive via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), separate from the Local Content form for the video title. Please contact your Account Manager (whose contact information is listed under the Marketplace Support tab) for your specific FTP instructions.

Video titles must be submitted to your OverDrive FTP site as an MP4 file. As a best practice, please use the video's title as the file name.

OverDrive will then transcode the MP4 you submit to the streaming video format, which is the format that will be available to your library users on your OverDrive website.

Please follow these specifications when submitting a video title:
