DirectShow with VS2005

Not sure if this is the right group for this question. If not, please
direct me to the right one. I've got 11 VC groups I have started
monitoring, but have little clear idea of the distinction between several...

We have a large commercial application that has been developed in Visual
Studio 2003 for the past couple years. I have been asked to port it all to
VS 2005 in preparation for moving to Vista. I have the core application
ported already (took hundreds of line of code changes), and am now working
on the myriad DLLs that are also part of the product.

One set of DLLs uses DirectShow extensively. We have installed the February
SDK, and extracted the needed Platform SDK and Baseclasses stuff.

1) First, there are about 10 'deprecated method' warnings in the headers.
Since I really, really want to have everything compile without warnings,
this is a nuisance. It is also a worry, since it makes me think maybe it
hasn't been properly updated to VS2005.

2) When I get to the link stage, I get some undefined methods (varies with
the DLL).

3) In trying to resolve this, I went back to basics and decided to try and
get the sample code to work. In reading the release notes in detail, I saw
the following:


6.6.2 The following non-WinFX samples do not compile in this version of
the Windows SDK

The samples listed below do not compile in this version of the SDK.
Additionally, none of the DirectShow samples compile. There is no workaround
for this issue.

<<<<<<<<<<<<

OK. Now I am worrying...

Is DirectShow completely dead in VS2005? Is there a way I can get this to
work, or am I wasting my time?
