Play MPEG-2 using MS Windows Filters

[khodam]

Dear all,

I want to play MPEG-2 video using these filters:
File Source (Async.) -> MPEG-2 Demultiplexer -> Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder -> Video Renderer

When I create this graph in C# using DirectShow.NET, I get black screen. Do you have any idea why?
I read something about push and pull but didn't get anything.

By the way, I played a MPEG-2 video using RenderFile function and then went through it's Filters using EnumFilters. The filters used by RenderFile was:
File Source (Async.) -> MPEG-2 Splitter -> Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder -> Video Renderer
Should I use Splitter instead of demultiplexer?

Please help me on this
Thank you guys

Personally I would probably try out some combination of source filters etc. inside GraphStudio or GraphEdit, in example:
File Source (Async.) -> LAV Splitter -> Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder -> Video Renderer
works fine for me.
(can't connect 'File Source (Async.) -> MPEG-2 Demultiplexer' or 'File Source (Async.) -> MPEG-2 Splitter ' on my system in GraphStudio, but that might be due to some limitation of the filters )

I solved it, so I share it here. For playing MPEG-2 video, I used these filters:
File Source (Async.) -> MPEG-2 Splitter -> Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder -> Video Renderer

The point about MPEG-2 Splitter's output pin was that I should connect File Source's output pin to MPEG-2 Splitter's input pin, then MPEG-2 Splitter creates automatically an output pin that I used it to connect to Microsot DTV-DVD Video Decoder's input pin and in the end; to Video Renderer.

By the way, I can seek video using IMediaSeeking.

Thank you Selur; for your help
