Why would you need an add-on? Internet Explorer has had support for a
video element in HTML documents for pretty much the whole millenium,
see http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/NOTE-HTMLplusTIME-19980918 for the spec
and for a working example see e.g.

  http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/testsuite/interop2/media/media_clipBegin_clipEnd_repeatCount.htm

More up to date documentation is available from the MSDN, and from
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-XHTMLplusSMIL-20020131/>.
