Stage6 Is closing down

 


marrs
Hello readers and writers
As from February 28, 2008 Stage6 will be closed down.

My theory of this is that divx are trying to get into the Guinness book of records with the most comments on a single post,the last time I looked the Comments were up to (8349)

Whats everyone else think about the departure of stage6 and does anyone else know of anything else which can superseed it??

I use youtube while the community is great the quality and all the restrictions kinda hold it back.

What do you think??

YEaah hahaha its closed since today so it says on a post,but just checked it and it seems to be up at present.


Ok stage6 is a video networking site like youtube for example,its free to upload and download material which isn't copywrited and has a small community compared with other video sharing site,so I find.
The big advantage stage6 has/did have over other networking sites IS the Divx resuloution of the video,has stage6 is/was owned by divx.

heres the link as requested http://www.stage6.com

Hope that has helped you out and things are a bit clearer now.
Regards.

oh thanks for that information Cool

I had never heard about stage6. With broadband being a distant dream I cant even think of visiting online video sites Sad

Yep finally stage 6 has closed its doors it was a great time for us whist it lasted.
Theres a sister site being promoted called Voeh http://www.veoh.com/stage6.html
But you have to download a small player and addition software to be able to view videos,Im a little suspect of the smell of spyware here,Ive not tried it out yet but if anyone id using Voeh to watch or upload videos please tell me how your getting on with it.

Thanks mark

as always with the likes of napster,rapidshare and now stage6 theres always a similar website or service there to take its place if it gets closed down or closes down

I have installed and tested VeohPlayer. No ad or spyware. Quality is not as good as stage6, but still ways better than other streaming sites like megavideo. Speed is good, Veoh also works with peer to peer technolgy to save money (what stage6 didnt

Also an advantage: Aspect ratio of your uploads is beeing keeped (megavideo changes it to 4:3 so many movies look like ...)

VeohPlayer is also integrated in Mozilla Firefox or MS Internet Explorer.

good to hear some good feedback on that player. does it matter what platform you have or will it work on mac and linux as well for example?

Anyway I must go and try it out!
filesharing
it's available for Windows XP, Windows Vista and MacOS X

unfortunately, there are only workarounds for Linux, example for Unbuntu (+Wine)

it said somewhere that it was bc an over usage of space and they couldent afford any more space or something like that
