      • I am trying to build a transform filter that I want to be automatically inserted into the filter graph. (This is so that I can hook it into Media Center.) My initial approach was to attempt to create a source filter that merely wrapped an underlying source filter to hook the graph creation process and get my filters into the graph. (I was using a fake protocol to get my filter to be instant
