CBS Labs has begun streaming select HD video clips on their site at http://labs.cbs.com/HD_video/. The video quality is impressive, streaming with H.264/AVC format at 480p, according to TechCrunch. The player itself reminds me a lot of Hulu, with a clean page that dims when the video starts. I appreciated not having to install a plugin, as I had to with ABC’s video player. While this is a positive step for CBS, it does seem like they are playing catch-up to the other networks’ online streaming efforts.
