Somewhere
I need to get some video clips of nature scenes for a project that I am working on. So I was wanting to know if there was anywhere that I could buy some cilps to download.
 
All the majors license

You can buy stock footage from virtually any of the Networks. ABCVideosource, BBC Motiongallery (BBC/CBS/CNN), ITNSource.com (Reuters,Fox - I think Survival is their nature collection) - Nat Geo is rep'd by Thoughtequity.com
You should be able to find what you want through those guys.

Depending on what type of footage you need, try The Prelinger Files. Free to use as you please, but it's all old stuff and not of the highest resolution. If nothing else, it's good for a laugh.
 
According to the link you provided for the LOC Prelinger site, it say's 'Getty Images represents the collection for stock footage sale', so it may be free for private use but you would have no distribution rights

A little confusing, I think. A little more research says you can reuse downloaded material as you wish, but it sounds like you you need higher quailty footage on different media, Getty charges a fee.

From the "Rights" section on the left side of the page:

"Rick Prelinger and The Internet Archive hereby offer these public domain films from Prelinger Archives to all for free downloading and reuse.


You are warmly encouraged to download, use and reproduce these films in whole or in part, in any medium or market throughout the world. You are also warmly encouraged to share, exchange, redistribute, transfer and copy these films, and especially encouraged to do so for free.

Any derivative works that you produce using these films are yours to perform, publish, reproduce, sell, or distribute in any way you wish without any limitations.

Descriptions, synopses, shotlists and other metadata provided by Prelinger Archives to this site are copyrighted jointly by Prelinger Archives and Getty Images. They may be quoted, excerpted or reproduced for educational, scholarly, nonprofit or archival purposes, but may not be reproduced for commercial purposes of any kind without permission.

If you require a written license agreement or need access to a physical element (such as videotape), please contact Getty Images. The Internet Archive does not furnish written license agreements.

Further information on works from Prelinger Archives can be found here. Questions should be directed to Rick Prelinger at Prelinger Archives, PO Box 590622, San Francisco, CA 94159-0622 USA. "
 
Liability

The claim is that all of this material that RP collected is now in the public domain, which may or may not be true. I guess if you go through Getty, they take legal liability for that when they issue a license.
