D ivX, Inc. announced the Beta release of DivX Stage6, the company’s high-quality video platform that lets anyone upload, download, view, share and experience everything from short clips captured on mobile phones all the way up to full-length, high-definition feature films. Originally launched as an experimental “alpha” site, Stage6 has grown steadily in users and content creators since it went live in August 2006. The evolution to the beta stage signifies a more robust site with a completely new look and feel and significantly more features for both filmmakers and users.

DivX Stage6 also provides an ideal forum for content creators to distribute their work beyond the PC, as all content on Stage6 is compatible with over 70 million DivX Certified consumer electronics devices from major manufacturers, including DVD players, portable media players, in-car devices and more.
