Using a DirectShow filter without registering it, via a private CoCreateInstance

Question

So basiclly I read this, http://www.gdcl.co.uk/2011/June/UnregisteredFilters.htm.

Which tells you how to use filters without registering them. There are two methods, new and using a private CoCreateInstance. Im trying to use the CoCreateInstance method.

In the sample from the site the code is listed as,

IUnknownPtr pUnk;
HRESULT hr = CreateObjectFromPath(TEXT("c:\\path\\to\\myfilter.dll"), IID_MyFilter, &pUnk);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
    IBaseFilterPtr pFilter = pUnk;
    pGraph->AddFilter(pFilter, L"Private Filter");
    pGraph->RenderFile(pMediaClip, NULL);
}

My code as follows,

IUnknownPtr pUnk;
HRESULT hr = CreateObjectFromPath(TEXT("c:\\filters\\mp4demux.dll"), IID_BaseFilter, &pUnk);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
  //add functionality
}

I'm guessing IID_BaseFilter is what Im supposed to use, its what I use for other filters. But I'm given the error 'ClassFactory cannot supply requested class'.

Am I missing something here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: code

IBaseFilter *pSrc = NULL, *pSrc2 = NULL, *pWaveDest = NULL, *pWriter = NULL;
IFileSinkFilter *pSink= NULL;
IGraphBuilder *pGraph;
ICaptureGraphBuilder2 *pBuild;
IMediaControl *pControl = NULL;
// This example omits error handling.

hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_CaptureGraphBuilder2, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
    IID_ICaptureGraphBuilder2, (void**)&pBuild);

hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_FilterGraph, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IGraphBuilder, (void**)&pGraph);
//Initialize the Capture Graph Builder
hr = pBuild->SetFiltergraph(pGraph);

// Not shown: Use the System Device Enumerator to create the 
// audio capture filter.
hr = pMoniker->BindToObject(0, 0, IID_IBaseFilter, (void**)&pSrc);
hr = pGraph->AddFilter(pSrc, L"VideooCap");

hr = pMoniker2->BindToObject(0, 0, IID_IBaseFilter, (void**)&pSrc2);
hr = pGraph->AddFilter(pSrc2, L"AudioCap");

IBaseFilter *pMux;
//IFileSinkFilter *pSink;
hr = pBuild->SetOutputFileName(
    &MEDIASUBTYPE_Avi,  // Specifies AVI for the target file.
    L"C:\\wav\\Example2.mp4", // File name.
    &pMux,              // Receives a pointer to the mux.
    NULL);              // (Optional) Receives a pointer to the file sink.

IUnknownPtr pUnk;

HRESULT hr = CreateObjectFromPath(TEXT("c:\\filters\\mp4mux.dll"), clsid, &pUnk);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
    IBaseFilterPtr pFilter = pUnk;
    HRESULT hr = pGraph->AddFilter(pFilter, L"Private Filter");
}

hr = pBuild->RenderStream(
    NULL,//NULL,//&PIN_CATEGORY_CAPTURE, // Pin category.
    NULL,//&MEDIATYPE_Interleaved,//NULL,//&MEDIATYPE_Audio,      // Media type.
    pSrc,                  // Capture filter.
    NULL,                  // Intermediate filter (optional).
    pMux);                 // Mux or file sink filter.

hr = pBuild->RenderStream(
    NULL,//NULL,//&PIN_CATEGORY_CAPTURE, // Pin category.
    NULL,//&MEDIATYPE_Interleaved,//NULL,//&MEDIATYPE_Audio,      // Media type.
    pSrc2,                  // Capture filter.
    NULL,                  // Intermediate filter (optional).
    pMux);                 // Mux or file sink filter.

    IMediaControl *pMC = NULL;
    hr = pGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaControl, (void **)&pMC);
    printf("START");  
    hr = pMC->Run();
    Sleep(4000);
      hr = pMC->Stop();
    printf("END");  
CoUninitialize();
    }
}

You should re-read Using Filters Without Registration. The second parameter is CLSID, the class identifier, not interface identifier (IBaseFilter).

For the GDCL MPEG-4 Demultiplexer, it is like this:

class __declspec(uuid("025BE2E4-1787-4DA4-A585-C5B2B9EEB57C")) GdclMp4Demux; // GDCL Mpeg-4 Demultiplexor
... = CreateObjectFromPath(..., __uuidof(GdclMp4Demux), ...);
