OverDrive Expands Download Video Catalog for Libraries

OverDrive announced that it has expanded its download video catalog to more than ten thousand titles from top suppliers including PBS, Starz, HDNet, and Magnolia Pictures. In addition, new download video content will be added throughout 2010 as a result of recent agreements with Digital 1 to 1, Diva Video Access AG, Film Movement, Films Media Group, Independent Film Channel, Rooftop Comedy, Sundance Channel, and more than a dozen other suppliers.

Like audiobook and e-book downloads from the library, download video can be accessed 24/7 on a personal computer at home
or anywhere a library user has an Internet connection. Users can watch the video on their computer using the OverDrive Media Console for Windows software or transfer an optimized mobile version to devices from Creative, Sandisk, and other device makers. Users can also wirelessly download video titles from a library’s mobile website to their Windows Mobile smartphones with OverDrive’s Windows Mobile app.
