DivX Presents Stage6 Live at CES 2007

Video Bloggers, Nerd Core Rappers, and Other Geeks to Perform for Live Audience at DivX Booth at CES

2007 International CES
LAS VEGAS & SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DivX, Inc. (NASDAQ:DIVX) today announced DivX Stage6 Live at CES 2007, a series of live presentations from a select group of video content creators who are members of the DivX Stage6 community. DivX Stage6 Live will take place at the DivX booth (#35301) in South Hall 4 at CES, the annual consumer electronics trade show in Las Vegas, from January 8 to January 11, 2007.

Demonstrating the quality and variety of material available on the DivX video community site, Stage6 Live will feature everything from video blog coverage of the hottest gadgets at CES to a live concert by the leading artists of the nascent Nerdcore rap movement. DivX Stage6 is a digital video community that allows content creators to easily upload video content and create custom channels to build and grow communities around their own unique brands. Anyone can distribute their DivX video content through the service, and all DivX content service is interoperable with over 50 million DivX Certified consumer electronics devices, such as DVD players and portable media players, that have been shipped worldwide.

Popular technology journalists from GeekEntertainmentTV, Labrats, Neo-Fight, and InDigital will film their special CES segments from the Stage6 Live stage covering all the announcements, personalities, and gadgets on display at the leading CE trade show in North America. Video bloggers as diverse as Geekdrome, TikibarTV, PurePwnage, and the JetSetShow will also capture the madness that such an event creates by bringing the electronics world together and letting it loose on Las Vegas. And, finally, the Stage6 Live stage will host the first ever summit of Nerdcore, with a concert featuring rappers whose music explores the vicissitudes of the Geeksta’ lifestyle.

“We could not be prouder to show the world that despite the unsurpassed technology behind DivX Stage6, what really makes it a compelling viewer experience are the amazingly talented people who actually create the content,” said Darrius Thompson, CXO, Community and Internet, at DivX, Inc. “Community building and audience interaction with content creators are at the heart of Stage6 and Stage6 Live at CES will demonstrate that in a uniquely entertaining way.”
