I'll have to give that a shot. Oh, I didn't realize there was an mplayer plugin (I missed your comment). I'll have to give that a shot.

At least, I've never found a video which made it have one in a browser. I think the mplayer plugin is definitely better. Totem /never/ has a seekbar.

No seekbar, but still, rather impressive. Wow, it worked for me under Linux, with totem. No seekbar, but still, rather impressive.

I've been using it for about 3 months or so. However, it does have the caveat that its search sucks very badly. It used to only look for any word in your query, I think it now looks for all of them, but then still appends the any results at the end. In any case, its hard to find stuff on it. I wish more sites would use the divx web player, since its very simple to imbed on a page. All they need to do is have the .divx file on the server, and this page can create the embed code: http://labs.divx.com/WebPlayerCodeGenerator . I have actually been using it on other sites so I could stream their divx files instead of having to wait for them to download. I have to agree that I also quite like Stage6.

I'd rather not fill my browser up with more site-specific cruft than absolutely necessary, especially when my computer already has perfectly good DivX-playing software. However, poking through the embed code and stealing the url "http://video.stage6.com/2007270/.divx" yielded a perfectly playable 2007270.divx file I don't see a download link on the page you linked at the end (the cat video) without installing the plug-in.

Microsoft, apparently and... who? Novell?).
