It's more likely you didn't setup the base classes project properly. Did you 
try and build the unicode version (I'd recommend not) ? Also did you change 
the linking to runtime to be dll not static... also converting you obviously 
did this manually... it's also very likely you didn't change the calling 
conventions to __stdcall not __cdecl.

Anyway... if you want vs2002, probably my project is not ideal... also some 
of the libraries won't build with vs2002 due to a bug in the compiler.

Most of them have a 2002 version as a vcproj.bak I originally developed on 
VS2002, until i discovered a compiler bug which prevented some of my 
libraries building even though the code was legal and correct.

But anyway... what is the need to compile them yourself (besides 
curiosity)... directshow filters are almost never directly touched through 
applications it's all through the DS interfaces, and filters are globally 
registered. (which also means it's very easy to corrupt directshows graph 
building and interfere with existing installations if you make changes and 
don't understand the way the GUIDs and media type negotiation works) So 
there is little to gain from building your own.

Zen.
