14 People Are Speaking Their Mind


  1. I really like the look of the website, its too bad that their player is not more user friendly. I tried installing and using it a couple times, aand it continuously crashed my browser. It seems that several others in their forums have had the same issues. I hope they can fix this, as the program looks really promising.

    It only happened to me when opening a video in its own window, but it’s still annoying. Hopefully it will be fixed soon

    Stage6 is a joke. A short while back they introduced their new Beta version to the whole world without Beta testing. What a mess. Nothing but problems. You can’t upload. Trying to upload either has an internal error or it just time out. You can’t download. Constant interruptions and downloads will not pick up where they left off. Streaming videos is slower then a snail, most of the times it stalls and won’t even play you have to restart the video. I am in total amazement a “so-called” professional company would go about introducing their upgrades in this fashion. Stage6 gets mine countless other people I know a two thumbs down.

  4. Stage 6 pwns. I guess Youtube will still be used for all the nonsense it’s famous for, but for movies and series and other tv stuff you want proper quality. Stage 6 delivers. Also, the DivX streaming codec supports Theatre mode. For the better UGT (User Generated Thievery) check out http://joox.net/.

  5. Stage 6 is good but uploading can be a major pain in the ass if it says file exist on the server and gang chains streaming can be fast i f you set your preferences to no post processing and I like watching movies tv shows and others for free thanks to joox.net.

  6. Has anyone else tried to TV-out the Stage6 player to their TV??

    ALL players (DivX, Real, Windows Media Player, Flash) play videos properly on TV when you connect your PC to a TV, but for some F***ing retarded reason, once I switch my display to TV and play ANYTHING in the Stage6 player it goes all black!!
    What’s the deal? Is this some sort of lame copy protection or is the codec incompatible with that mode?

  7. It wont let me download. when i click the icon to download it says page can not be found, but it had been working well before

  8. Well, for me stage6 doesn’t ’stream’ anything… the player doesn’t buffer and instead waits till the whole thing is dl’d before playing (I can manually start it, but unless I have all of the file, playback will stall until the dl catches up).. I’ve checked my setting and that’s not the prob and my bandwidth is fine,

    Kinda sucks.

  9. stage 6 always say “ERROR” “the file already exist” when i want to upload but i really want to upload , so HELP ME PLEASEE i don’t understand WHY
    THANKS MCI

    Stage 6 sucks like Pam Anderson on a fresh tommy lee
    Who authorizes software like that to be released on the web? I would rather have a virus on my computer, at least the virus will work like it is supposed to. I never thought I would find a media player worst than Windows media player but then again I never thought I would get a threesome with two hot chicks!

  12. yeah, stage 6 is total shit! horrible fucking player. just like above posters, it never streams anything. its an entirely useless system and it makes me want to rape the programmers that made this bile!

  13. Joox.net sucks now no good content and really just shit Stage 6 is getting better with the updates and it can stream if you live in the US. You will get a better connection 4 MB line can go faster then a 10 MB if you live in the US and I’m sick of those bastards deleting episodes they better not delete my episodes again lol.

  14. It’s definitely a challenge for them. I think they could help to overcome it by trying to sell DivX video ads on some of the larger sites, but ultimately, if the content isn’t compelling enough, people won’t take the time to download the web player anyway. The good news for them, is that there is a lot of DivX content out there and sooner or later people do find things that they really want to see. I think this issue also impacts people’s willingness to link to their content. Idolator linked to a great video on Stage6 today, but replaced it with a YouTube video once someone uploaded it there instead. This isn’t an easy challenge to overcome, but the longer they are around, the easier this will get. If enough people end up downloading their software, then this problem will eventually go away. In the meantime, web users have to deal with the install, if they want the higher quality.
