Stage6 shutdown

Unfortunatelly the popular video service at stage6.divx.com was shutdown. Here is the official explanation from the site team:

Stage6.com has been shut down. Thank you for supporting the service.

We created Stage6 with the mission of empowering content creators and viewers to discover a new kind of video experience. Ultimately, the continued operation of Stage6 was a very expensive enterprise that required an enormous amount of attention and resources that we at DivX are not in a position to continue to provide. There are a lot of other details involved, but at the end of the day it's really as simple as that.

The DivX experience will continue, of course. Every day new DivX Certified devices arrive on the market making it easy to move video beyond the PC. Products powered by DivX Connected, our new initiative that lets users stream video, photos, music and Internet services from the PC to the TV, are hitting retail outlets. We remain committed to empowering content creators to deliver high quality video to a wide audience, and we'll continue to offer services that will make it easy to find videos online in the DivX format.


It's been a wild ride, and none of it would have been possible without the support of our users. Thank you for making Stage6 everything that it was.

There is another service that has the same and even more features - veoh.com

One of  the key features is the Pro version. It allows synchronization of videos with different video services. For example you upload a video and veoh does all the uploading for you for other services like google video or youtube.

There is also a video browser program that can be downloaded for Mac or windows. It searches and plays back all the videos that can be found on google video or youtube.

Here is blazetris with veoh:
