I haven't looked lately, but I'd recommend a visit to www.pasternack.com .
They sell all sorts of connectors, with heavy emphasis on RF types, but
still ...
Another page you might examine is http://www.conec.com/section9/p2.html

Over here, I've only seen those coax inserts as crimp-on types. And the
crimp tool is special and expensive. I don't know if it's possible to
solder them (it is possible to solder some types of crimp connector if
you are careful).
The connector comes as 3 coax inserts, the empty (size DA) shell and the
hood. All as separate parts.
The BNC end of the cable is (of course) trivial as solder or crimp
connectors are easy to get. You need 75 Ohm ones (for video), not the
more common 50 ohm ones used for RF and ethernet. Yes, the connectors are
different, and it's not a good idea to use the wrong one -- IIRC the
central pin is a differnt diameter (thinner on the 75 ohm), so a 50 ohm
plug in a 75 ohm socket will damage the socket contact and the reverse
doesn't make a good connection.
