January 31, 2008 – 4:08 pmUsually, online streaming video website forbid us from downloading the video content. You can only watch them online via their website. Stage6.com also do the same thing. Here, we will teach you how to download video from stage6.com and play the raw file .divx format.
First, search for your favorite video and open the page. In the embed code, select all and copy the code then paste it into your new browser address.
Example:
<object codebase=”http://go.divx.com/plugin/DivXBrowserPlugin.cab” height=”272″ width=”720″ classid=”clsid:67DABFBF-D0AB-41fa-9C46-CC0F21721616″><param name=”autoplay” value=”false”><param name=”src” value=”http://video.stage6.com/2051192/.divx” /><param name=”custommode” value=”Stage6″ /><param name=”showpostplaybackad” value=”false” /><embed type=”video/divx” src=”http://video.stage6.com/2051192/.divx” pluginspage=”http://go.divx.com/plugin/download/” showpostplaybackad=”false” custommode=”Stage6″ autoplay=”false” height=”272″ width=”720″ /></object>
On the copied code, search for this term “h**p://video.stage6.com/2051192/.divx” and delete all the unnecessary code.
Each video has its unique id that represent the file location, example: unique id for the above video is “2051192″
Then click go on your browser, then a popup windows appear to download the file name “.divx”. Make sure you don’t download it via download accelerator because stage6 do not support download accelerator.
After the download process complete. You can rename the file and you must put this extension “.avi” like this example ” myvideo.avi”
Now you can play the video!
# Or to make life real simple, you could follow the instructions on Stage6: download DivX codec, and only install the components you need. If you already have CCCP or K-Lite codec pack (highly recommended for their MKV compatibility), you could uncheck the first box and only install the essential uploader. Renaming the extension is not necessary and will lose any subtitle if the .DIVX file comes with it. To find out how to create DIVX with soft subtitles, you can join the Stage6 forum and ask.
The uploader is needed for uploading. Stage6 wouldn’t work if all users only download and not upload contents.
