Stage6 Alternative

    Well, Stage6 was very bad news but theres no point living in the past, it's time to look for alternatives. I was searching my best friend Google (even though they owe me $200~ and i met payout last month :mad:) and I found this site listed in one of the Yahoo answers I bumped into. It's called Vimeo.

    You upload your videos with the good uploader that doesnt seem to break like some of the other low-quality video sites. Once uploaded your video is converted to SWF and is then playable in Vimeo player. I bolded converted to SWF as I want to come back to that, yesterday I uploaded a video and I actually sat in a waiting line for 400 minutes to get mine converted but they had a massive surge of users from Stage6 coming over.

    They seem really strict on copyrighted information being uploaded so I'm proxying in just in case when I upload and I'm not going to lie I broke their TOS intentionally. I heard the copyrighted information is removed pretty fast.

    Anyway, for a quality test and no initial plug is intended for my site here, but as the majority watch Prison Break you can grasp the concept of the quality.

    Not bad huh? Like, not bad at all :D

    The new stage6?
    I honestly think it depends how they stick to their current "mission statement" of cracking down on copyrighted information.

    I think I may have found a site too that allows you to upload/embed and stream divx in it's original format:
    http://blip.tv/

    It also has the choice of converting your videos to flash.
    Uploader is pretty fast too.

    I guess thats about the best way to do it, its a shame really, can understand it though if its really expensive for them, will be sad to see it go, even though i only recently found it.

    There's an article over at the Tech Empire that has a bunch of alternatives listed. I haven't tried them all yet but it has quite a few I had never heard of before. http://www.techemperor.com/2008/02/29/stage6-we-hardly-knew-ye/ hopefully some of them will be almost as good as Stage6 though nothing can ever really replace it.

    personally i think www.divxvine.com is the best, you can upload your video and then use the code it generates to add to your website, you can also just watch it directly.
