A very simple CTransInPlaceFilter example

Preparation: Install the windows SDK, compile the DirectShow BaseClasses (<your install root>\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\<your sdk version>\Samples\multimedia\directshow\baseclasses), create a new win32 DLL project, add the baseclasses folder to your include directory, and link with strmbase.lib (or strmbasd.lib for Debug build) winmm.lib, if you ignored the default libs, you also need msvcrt.lib. Add tcasFilter.def as Module Definition File. Import tcasFilter.h and tcasFilter.cpp to your project, then compile it. Good luck.

Below are the three needed files:

// tcasFilter.def
