    It's been a long time since I've looked for this stuff. I'm trying to find some *cheap* generic Royalty Free -or- Public Domain (preferably PD...much cheaper) video footage, ideally in NTSC MiniDV format. I know that I can get some video off of eBay, but I really don't trust most of the jokers hawking video, I'd hate to rip off someone's pirated stuff. I'm not to picky about subject matter...just need some stuff to edit together for some "fake" commercials for my resume reel. Anyone know any good places to sniff around?

    These 2 specialize solely in public domain movies/trailers/old commercials

    Amazon.com carries a lot of Public Domain movies, as well as other online video outlets.

    check also :

    www.archive.org - the Internet Moving Pictures archive.

    and also do a Google search for the Open Video project - another archive of public domain / royalty free movies.
