OpenCodecs is a software package for enabling HTML5 video on Microsoft Windows, particularly using the Theora and WebM codecs in Internet Explorer. It consists of:

dshow, Xiph's DirectShow filters for their suite of Ogg formats, including Theora and Vorbis
webmdshow, the DirectShow filter for WebM maintained by the WebM project
An ActiveX plugin adding HTML5 video capability to Internet Explorer older than version 9

The DirectShow filters support all DirectShow applications (like Windows Media Player), not just Internet Explorer.
