ActiveMovie is a streaming media technology now known as DirectShow, developed by Microsoft to replace Video for Windows. ActiveMovie allows users to view media distributed via the Internet, an intranet and CD-ROMs.Originally announced in March 1996, the first version was released in May 1996 bundled with the beta version of Internet Explorer 3.0. When ActiveMovie was installed an option was added to the Start Menu to launch the ActiveMovie Control. This allowed users to play multimedia files and thus was a rudimentary media player.
