NOOOO, this is not cool. I go to stage6 to get my divx videos for my ps3. I love their high quality videos. Ahh man this sure does suck.

This is sad. They had quality films, and brought DivX to the front lines. I really think that Stage6 members would have gladly paid to keep Stage6 going. I think something underlies their closing.

I too use this site for my PS3. I get many indie documentaries and things you can't find in other places there. Many other sites I use to download divx films link back to this one as a source... does anyone know of another site that shares divx files? I know Quicksilverscreen.com is a good one... but I have a feeling they use Stage6 for many of their available films.

This sucks. I used to watch my favorite anime on there. I need to now figure out what sites have all my shows and pick up from there. I hope they reconsider this and keep it up for all the people who support it.

It will be missed. I will never forget the experience and the great quality videos.

I've never actually used the service but I heard many good things about it. It's too bad that it will be going away before I can even truly try it. I just hope the codec doesn't die either, but I doubt it will.

I have been looking for alternatives to the HUGE DIVX FORCE that was Stage 6. There are MANY people working on this issue and because it was a source of 80-90% of my entertainment I have been following THIS forum:
http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=72455&st=75
There seem to be a bunch of people who know what they are doing and they have made considerable progress. If you are a fan of DIVX at all please pay attention to this thread. I have already found some "work-around" solutions to Stage 6 that work great from this forum. It will all depend on what you are using Stage 6 for exactly..
I use my PS3 to store many of my divx films as it helps save space on the PC and is already connected to the 42" LCD. I know that if ANYONE has the expertise to fix the Stage 6 issue its the people from THIS site and if we can work together to create an alternative that will let me download directly from my PS3 web browser the way Stage 6 did I will whole again.
seriously.
haha

PORQUE!?!? man, i really loved that website, unlimited length videos, free downloads, high quality...everything youtube was missing. if only they got more popular divx could have dominated. stage6 had lots of potential.
R.I.P Stage6.

It will be missed by me and by others, and I think it should never have been closed down though I undertsand why. Howeverm, this now opens a gateway for a number of other people who maybe want to expand their business or open a new high-quality video site, and it may even be better than Stage6!
Youtube is a lot of crap imo; low-quality video streaming which allows only a limited time of which (10 min.s I think?!) So I'll definitely be happy if what I stated in my last paragraph actually is truth rtaher than a theory.
Thanks everyone,
Rich.

Dam wot a bummer!It was a brilliant site for its Non Anglo music clips
It's named redirected successor Veoh, video compression quality is not always quite as good, (probably due to the clip poster)
Sites like joox.net are also going to be whacked hard too, as they recycle stage6 links
I'll really miss Stage6 Think we should hold a wake!

It's a sad day when divx has to close a part of their business. R.I.P Stage 6.
