On the 28th of Feb, Stage6 will cease to function due to massive expenditures. So what does this mean for us? Well actually not that much, I’m currently setting in motion what I’ve wanted for a while, for us to hold our own content. Considering we have 5.8 Terabytes (5800gb) bandwidth limit, I think we’re safe on the usage. The only point of which I’m worried is with a new release, which is real close now, would a site like Digg manage to crash our server? Most probably.
Anyway I’ve been downloading the videos we have in both wmv and divx formats and I’m going to upload them to our ftp. The reason we’ll still be using the .divx format is because the divx web player will still be available whether or not Stage6 is up because we’ll be using our own host. So we can continue streaming HD content with the Divx web player and provide wmv direct downloads. I look forward to the first month when the new video is released.
We thank you Stage6, even though your upload process and reliability sucked, your ability to stream HD content for free was amazing and probably the main factor in your demise. Just pray the Divx team keep the web player support!
:( I Will Miss Stage 6
GamingTV.us will always be here to lend a helping hand hosting/mirroring videos by you talented people :)
GamingTV.us wins always!
I loved Stage6 with the 1080p support
Trigger, you have experience with .mov’s, could you .mov all the videos we have?
Have you tried Vimeo.com? It has HD-Support, too.
Michael, all GTV’s movies have .mov versions encoded- here is a list of all the Lit Fuse works we have hosted.

hmm, weird. Did my last comment go through? It had tons of linkage.
Probably in the spam comments, lemme check.
If there are a lot of links, it needs to be approved by an administrator. I just cleared it for you.
ah, cool. thanks.
Last I heard Vemeo is no longer supporting high res. Right now I am moving all my stage6 movies over to Veoh, as they allow transfers by url (using the Stage6 download link url). A 500MB movie takes only 2 seconds to upload to Veoh this way. Very nice feature.
So, wait, Stage6 will be completely gone, or just the movies LitFuse has made. I’m confused.
