Like Getty Filmstock or RevoStock.

Spherestock specializes in motion design elements, backdrops, etc. and Detonation Films specializes in VFX, especially ehh.. detonations.

There are also collections (on DVD), like the ones from Artbeats or Digital Juice.

They have both HDV and 1920x1080. Same with Revostock.

I've bought a lot of stuff through Getty images. The website works well. They only seem to hold HD masters in the States, (New York, I believe) which means a courier or hours of downloading, so it's worth factoring that in to a schedule. (If you're not in NY already!) Contemporary stuff seems to be originated in HD, older stuff is telecine.

Have you thought of using a picture researcher? It can save money as they can consolidate orders and get bulk discounts.
