FIC Decoder DirectShow - BETA!

[vivan]

You can add such filtering preset (in dropdown list there are filtering presets, not avisynth functions):
1) press cogwheel button near filtering while video is not loaded;
2) press + (add profile) and name it as you want;
3) write "FlipVertical()" there and press ok;

Now you will have such filtering preset (also it will save if you open other video or close program), so "fixing" flip problem would be in two clicks.

P.s. I'll ask people, who are working on Xvid4PSP 5 to add option to add FlipVertical () automaticaly, when opening video via DirectShow...

I didn't bother checking if the software supports directshow but here's the results:

Sony Vegas 11 - Failed
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 - Failed
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 - Failed
Adobe After Effects CS6 - Failed
MAGIX Video Pro X4 - Failed
Camtasia Studio 8 - Failed
Corel VideoStudio X5 - Failed
CyberLink PowerDirector 10 - Failed
MainConcept Reference 2 - Failed
Windows Live Movie Maker - Failed

So pretty it's in a very bad shape.

Have you been trying to import raw Action! recordings (.fic) without installing the DirectShow decoder? What do you mean by "Failed". Windows Movie Maker works 100%, also no problems with Adobe Director in our labs. We are verifying other third party software for problems.

I think someone from the team should re-explain the install function for this decoder, as I too am coming up short trying to use CS5.5 Premiere and I have tried multiple times.

Please wait for the official Action! 1.5.0 release which will be available tommorow. It will automatically install the DirectShow decoder. Also please make sure to enable the DirectShow support in Premiere.

So Premiere doesnt install with support enabled? I will look again for an option to enable it tomorrow Thanks!

Yes, I'm trying to import the fic file. I can play it in WMP and I even manually registered the dlls to be sure that it's really working but I was still unable to import into any of the mentioned video editors.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 just shows "File format unsupported.". There's no option to enable/disable DS support even tried searching for how to and there's no info on this. So any help enabling it?
Windows LMM just shows "Movie Maker doesn't support the selected file type.".

Tried even changing the extension and some editors managed to "import" it but there were no audio/video.

If Adobe Director managed to import it, that doesn't mean all Adobe products will.

Sorry if I seem angry or something, I'm just frustrated. Reinstalled windows just to try this.

I managed to convert by means of MeGUI with creation of Avisynth but I can not understand as to make that audio worked.

Reinstalled windows, again, and I got the same results. Adobe Premiere nor WLMM was unable to import fic. But this time, by renaming the fic extension to avi, I managed to import it into WLMM and it worked but there was no audio. No luck with Adobe.

EDIT: When importing the avi, Premiere is able to read the length, but hangs when it's generating audio peek.

What audio format do you have in your recordings, stereo or multichannel?
To playback multichannel audio it may be required to install additional filter for decoding.
