I was not really sure if we would ever see Vreel, the semi-official successor of Stage 6, go live but apparently the developers did it finally. Vreel’s doors have opened and anyone can join the Open Beta. Vreel, like Stage 6, is based on Divx technology which means that the latest Divx Web Player has to be installed to play the high definition videos of the video portal.

Speed is excellent currently but it remains to be seen how a massive rush of new users will affect the website. Many blogs will soon start to publish articles about the Open Beta of Vreel. Videos are definitely playing in a nice quality, much better than that of Youtube or similar video portals. Vreel offers the usual rating and comments system but it is quite obvious that not all functions are yet available.

A click on the community link for instance is just stating that this will come soon. What you can do right now is view, upload, comment and rate videos which is probably what most users that visit video sites do anyway.

Seems that the first outage hit the service right in the middle of my article. I cannot connect to it anymore and the pages give a page load error currently. Maybe just a server restart, it is a beta after all. Cannot do a screenshot of the interface right now obviously.

I’ve been fascinated with the development of Vreel. Initially, I couldn’t decide between it being an elaborate hoax or that the people behind it were out of their depth. I’m now persuaded that this is a genuine attempt to develop a high quality online video streaming site but that the brains behind it are really out on a limb here. Anyhow, there’s really a great story behind Vreel and it’s not finished yet….
Here’s my take

vreel is alive more than ever! our hope is that vreel would be greater than stage6 ever was (comparing in quality terms)

Now that its up:
I have to say I am impressed.
They got great speed (at the moment) ,good quality and even got their share of probably illegal content.
I hope it stays that way. :D

Vreel/Zango is in the busisness of spreading malware/trojans.

After Vreel infected my PC with a trojan,
I removed all my videos and posted them on StageHD.
There are many Stage6 replacements that are reputable companies.
My advice is stay clear of companies like Vreel/Zango
