Save your Stage6 raid videos
Many raiders and machinima fans will be disappointed to learn that Stage6, one of the best purveyors of high quality DivX videos, will be shutting down. Moo announced yesterday in her his WoW Moviewatch the shut down will take place this Thursday. This is a big blow to not only the WoW community due to all the superb WoW videos hosted there, but also to the larger DivX community. If you're like me, you probably have half a dozen boss videos that you either need to watch, or do watch after wipes to learn from them. Stage6 has an option to save these videos to your hard disk, and it looks like after this Thursday, that will be the only way to enjoy them.In light of the closure of Stage6, what video sites will you use to get high quality boss and strategy videos from?Edit: A sincere apology to Moo for my gender mistake. Having not met any of my fellow bloggers in real life yet, I mistakenly assumed Moo was a masculine identity. /red-in-the-face. /apologize.
D-Link DSM-330 DivX Connected HD Media Player on its way to the U.S.
The U.S. is finally getting its first official DivX Connected device, now that the D-Link DSM-330 is officially announced for release here. Due sometime in the first half of 2008, the onetime GejBox will of course support Stage6, but as an open platform should be able to handle any codec or package thrown at it. Seamless media streaming nirvana is upon us -- at least until we find a video file that won't work with even this.
DivX GejBox redubbed Connected, spotted in the wild
Well, would you take a look at this. That interestingly titled GejBox that we peeked last month has seemingly been redubbed DivX Connected, received a slight facelift, and best of all, has been caught in the wild. According to DivX, "Connected is a digital home platform and interoperability standard for networked media devices, PCs and, online services," and it can supposedly access Stage6, Google Video, and ShoutCast internet radio when not playing back media on any of your networked machines. The boxes are apparently being doled out on a very limited basis and are still marked as beta hardware, but judging by the photos, it features an Ethernet port, built-in WiFi, a USB connector, and a remote to keep you firmly situated on the sofa. You know the drill, check out a few more pics after the jump.[Thanks, Dave T.]
