There are benefits to both stills and movie content, i guess it really depends on what you are ultimately going to be using the content purchase for.

For example, stills give you a lot more room to market with than movie content does however, at the same time, you can make stills content out of movie content however, movies tend to cost more on average than stills sets.

Its also easier to use existing still content in promo materials than it is movie caps or movie content.

Also, in addition to the cost of the content, movies are going to cost you more in bandwidth than image content will over the same time frame with the same level of traffic unless you are utilizing 1mb filesize pics on your sites.

If you are going to be using the content on free sites, aen sites, tgp galleries etc etc, id probably go the image content route, at least to start off with then build up to utilizing movies.

Ultimately though, its going to be a case of buying whatever YOU are more comfortable with using, it seems to me that it is a lot easier to get the required documentation for image content these days than it is movie.
