Some of you, especially those that browse a lot will have by now probably noticed that more and more webpages have started switching from flv based videos over to divx based videos. It’s quite easy to notice it as well, for one, you need to install a special plugin to view these videos, and also you get to see a big divx logo first.
At first I didn’t like this at all (I don’t like most things that require a plugin to be usable), but after getting the plugin and watching some videos, especially those on Stage6 site, I must say that I’m very pleased with this new web video format. Now divx itself is quite old of course, but it is new to the web, and beats flash video and sound quality any time of the day.

I’ve always hated the crappy quality on Youtube!
Yay for Stage6 I say, and a big welcome for DivX/Xvid media on the Internet.
The Stage6 player does seem to have it’s on problems (like for some reason loading the movie twice) but I still think it’s better and prettier than anything else so far. And I love the fact you can use a free aspect ratio for your movies, Youtube thinks we still live in letterbox format :(

Aye, it has a few problems. Video caching, and multiple videos not working properly, are my main two gripes. Other than that it’s really cool.
