Founded in 2001, DVarchive is a leader in supplying downloadable royalty-free stock footage to both the low-end and high-end stock footage user. We offer both standard and high definition footage in a wide variety of formats and codecs. All clips on DVarchive are hand-selected by CEO Rick Ray, an award winning filmmaker, editor and cinematographer who has made a commitment to offering only the highest quality clips to DVarchive users. And whether it's Rick's own footage or one of our 120+ supplier's, you are virtually guaranteed to find great footage to meet your needs. DVarchive footage has appeared in movies, commercials, television productions, concert backdrops, and much more. DVarchive is constantly adding and acquiring new footage, so check back often to see what's new. Because DVarchive recognizes most users want a simple, hassle free way to get their footage, DVarchive has chosen to offer royalty-free footage exclusively. Royalty-free means there's no need to calculate price based on usage, and the price is always affordable. Even more convenient, we have down-converted most of our clips to sizes and formats that work within your needs and budget. Once you purchase and download your clips, you are free to use them in perpetuity. The only restrictions are based on usage, and these restrictions are stated in our contracts. Our privately held company is headquartered in Ventura, California.
