AV Zombie: DivX has launched its own online community for people who love to watch and download user-generated content.
Their new video Stage6 allows users watch and share DivX videos as well as interact with the people who made them.
Significantly, the video content of Stage6 can be downloaded and burnt to DVD, for playback in DivX compatible DVD players.
Content currently seems to consist primarily of music and anime, and video quality is consistently good.

Engadget: If you’re a gadget freak on a budget, and/or someone who prefers to archive your recorded shows in DivX format so you can cram more of ‘em onto a single DVD, then Toshiba has the product for you.
Their new ¥14,000 (93€) SD-580J DVD player will handle those DivX 3/4/5/6 files and serve ‘em all up via beautiful HDMI.
Or if you’re too cheap for that, then you’ve got your normal array of secondary options: optical sound, composite video, or S-Video.
