STAGE 6 GONE!!
« on: February 25, 2008, 06:05:22 pm »
Now we have to resort to Youtube for our low quality AS vids.

www.stage6.com

The story is there, starting Feb. 28th, Stage6 will be no more.

I use blip.tv to upload my videos. Yes they will convert your movies to Flash (if you don't do it yourself first, and if you do so the only limitation you have is what the Flash format itself supports), but you can also choose to stream the original video file in just about any format up to 1 GB in size. Also, FTP uploading is great!

Youtube is nice for certain things, but AS videos certainly isn't one of them. Sad to see Stage6 go though because even though I didn't use it to upload myself, there sure were a lot of quality content there...

Oh man, epic suck... :(

I didn't use it, but I saw it was a kind of neat place for videos that weren't encoded as crappy Flash videos like YouTube... which was cool.

I don't think I should perpetuate the touchy subject, so I won't mention my alternative here... :-[

I didn't really use it.
My only question is, will this prevent my access to Rifftrax shorts?

Either way, suck.

Okay. Fine. I'll say it.

http://hostfile.org

Someone should sign up an Audiosurf account that people can sign in with and upload their videos to. Then you can share the account profile link with people and they can see all the videos in one place.

You can upload all your DivX-encoded videos via FTP or through the web (if you have a fast connection that can do it in under a few minutes), then play them without being re-encoded, on the web using the same DivX Web Player that Stage6 used.

The site no longer blocks Vista too, and since I'm the coder, I'm up for suggestions to help make it a better place to post your Audiosurf videos.

That's all I'm going to spam about that. ;)

BTW, we can't upload to your site, durr. It's just a file index. Great presentation there.

I like hostfile.org. Eh doesn't stupid and doesn't afraid of anything.
