Ok, so I know that I am a little late on this but I know a good thing when I see it. Divx. Divx is a video format that I feel has always been shunned because it always been used by the porn industry and is the format of choice for pirating moves. But could the format be used to power the next You Tube? Well the folks over at Stage6 think so.
According to Wikipedia “Stage6 is a video sharing website first launched by DivX in 2006 and currently in beta. It is similar to sites like YouTube in allowing streaming video to be uploaded freely by anyone who is willing to register. Significant differences between Stage6 and other sites include better quality video through use of higher resolutions up to 1080p, very small upload limitations, and the option to download media directly through the website or the DivX Web Player without the need to install browser extensions.”
Check out the video quality betweent Youtube and Stage6
You will need to install the browser extensions to use Divx & Stage6 don’t worry it’s quick and painless. You’ll be glad you did!
