DivX Stage6

[David White]

DivX launched a video content community recently called Stage6. I have created a channel and loaded some of my clips. They can be viewed at: http://stage6.divx.com/OceanView_video_productions . Enjoy.

They play back a little jerky on my G4 laptop, I may not have the horsepower to watch these unless I fire up the G5.

Where was the Tiger shark stuff shot? That's a big shark!!

The Big Fish Encounter is run by Beqa Adventure Divers out of Lagoon Resort Beqa, Fiji. Ron and Valerie Taylor have described it as the best shark dive in the world. Since it was my first shark dive I had no idea as to what to expect. We saw 7 species of shark on the two dives, culminating with the visit from Scarface, a 14' Tiger shark. Interestingly, although there were probably a dozen Bull sharks in the immediate area, they stayed away while she fed, and fed, and fed, and fed. Ravenous appetite!

It ran a bit jerky on my machine as well, but that is a big tiger and some big bulls, too. -Clay

David - first off the video clips are great! Second, they ran flawlessly on my AMD Athlon 64 Processor (3400+) at 2.4 GHz with 2GB of RAM.

Thanks Daniel. The videos got moved when I was attempting to determine the best render options prior to converting the files to the DivX codec. The files will stream correctly from the server to my dual xeon 3.2GHz system but the video and audio lose synchronization when streamed or downloaded to my P4 1.3GHz system. Still, video over the internet has come a long way in the past few years.

Yeah, it looks amazing, very impressive.
