Media Player Connectivity plug-in for firefox does this, however it's method
creates a black panel where the media is usually displayed. When you then
click the black area the appropriate media player launch's and plays your
video.

I actually prefer this method as I think videos should be played in video
players
not in web pages.

Perhaps those looking for the window codecs to work out of the box should
try
Linspire for their next distribution, as Linspires recent deal with
Microsoft
will provide that functionality.
