And with the void that ensued, a few have certainly popped up. Still, it's not easy to make a new website in two months. There's the good, the bad, and the ugly. But a new site called StageVU promises to do what StageVU has done before, albeit slightly less ambitiously. While it improves on things such as Stage6's search and user-friendliness with extensive use of AJAX, its videos are re-encoded. No 1080p videos for now... Nevertheless, StageVU faces intense competition from a smorgasbord of other Stage6 clones in the upcoming weeks. The main factor, though, which makes it stand out is also its weakness: it re-encodes all videos, allowing less tech-savvy users to upload. We'll see in the coming weeks how this turns out." http://www.stagevu.com/ “Ever since Stage6 went down two months ago, people have been scouring the internet for a new place to post and view high-quality videos.

The homepage of the new service is Divxit and there is unfortunately not a lot to discover right now. Servers and GUI seem to be online already and the Divxit Core converter nears completion which seems to be the last step before the portal goes live.

Other sites rely on Stage6 such as quicksilverscreen.com and they are now scrambling to replace videos with those from google and veoh. Sorry to hear that news.

I did enjoy watching a few things on Stage6, primarily because of the quality, and because by default, it shrouds the rest of the screen in darkness, which allows you to focus on the video itself.
