Everything about Activemovie totally explained
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.
In March 1997, Microsoft announced that ActiveMovie was going to become part of the
DirectX set of technologies, and by July it was being referred to as DirectShow.
Version 5.2 of
Windows Media Player would remove the
ActiveMovie Control icon from the Start Menu upon installation. Microsoft provided instructions for reinstating the icon on its website.
