The chairmen at DivX are very stupid for declining the spinoff, but to me some of the blame should go to Greenhall, the chairs had after more consideration agreed to take the offer, but he refused.

Not to worry though, I think that sooner or later a large site, such as Google or Yahoo! will buy the technology and put it on their sites. Google could do it easily, create a sub site of Youtube (or just make use the tech on Youtube), and allow people to post and watch very high quality, they would make millions, and they could easily afford it.

> “Everyone who views a video on Stage6 must first download the DivX player.”

I didn’t, I don’t even think their player is available for linux. I just used normal firefox (iceweasel on debian) and played their videos fine.

Okay, who owns and controls the Stage6 name, content and equipment? Seems to me whom ever it is has a very likely deal in the works if they want one to exist… at all. And with millions of dollars on the table and everything already in lace to simply throw the switch back on, what’s stopping them from making a comeback? It can’t be money unless they simply want to spin it to the high bidders and walk away only to start another service that competes with the original! If they (?) sit on their ass to long and allow greed to control their decision they will surely get left holding the bag on this one. I say get Stage6 back online and work it with a fresh start. I also felt Stage6 was the best thing going on the net when it came to video content ease of use and quality.

I assure you though that even he is way smarter than the morons at DivX who decided to shut down Stage6.
