if you only need it to work with AVI movies

Unless you need to work with AVI files that API doesn't support :)

In that case I actually think it would be easier to write your own AVI
parser and writer. :) Looking back at the headaches I had trying to do
it in DirectShow, I don't think I'd do it that way again.

the graph is supposed to support mpg and avi.

In that case it's harder to do it from scratch. :(

writing my own parser and writer seems like a big headach(mainly
because i never tried it before).
how does GMFBridge helps me to accomplish what i need?

i was thinking of writing 2 transfer filters that drops the frames and
audio samples i dont need (returns E_FAIL) do you think this approach
will work?

Yes, and it is actually probably easier to implement than the split
graph approach. However, Michel is probably right that DES is a better
choice. I've never used DES myself, so I can't really say for sure how
easy it would be to do it in DES.
