Yesterday San Diego based DivX announced the shutdown of popular video site Stage6, to the surprise and dismay of the siteâ€™s 17.4 million happy monthly visitors (the post on the shutdown has over 5,000 comments).

Thereâ€™s lots of speculation around why DivX is shutting the site down, ranging from piracy issues to the spiraling CDN costs of streaming all that HD content. But what really happened, according to multiple sources, is that a ridiculous battle of egos at the DivX board level caused most of the team to simply quit. DivX, essentially, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
