I guess the main difference between the two is – Stage6 offers high quality DivX videos of nationally broadcasted shows as well as amateur videos. Youtube offers a much greater selection of mostly amateur videos that are in the flash video format.

Video Quality
Winner: Stage6 offers much better video quality. In fact, some videos are close to high definition quality. You can watch videos in true full-screen mode.

Content
Winner: Youtube – This category is not even close.

Mainstream friendly
Winner: Youtube – Uses flash video that is preinstalled on most browsers. Stage6 requires visitors to install a DivX codec plugin.

The popularity of youtube cannot be disputed but if you haven’t tried stage6 you’ll be surprised at the high quality videos they provide. Visit http://www.stage6.com/ and see for yourself.
