Stage6 was a video sharing website owned and operated by DivX, Inc., where users could upload, share, and view video clips.[1] Stage6 was different from other video services in that it streamed high quality video clips that were user-encoded with DivX and Xvid video codecs.
The website never went beyond beta status, and was shut down by DivX Inc. on February 29, 2008 because of apparent inability to support Stage6 financially, or other officially unspecified reasons.
In June 2008, CNET hailed Stage6 as one of the greatest defunct websites in history.[2]
