I think the only reason to put your filters in a DLL is to be able to use them in multiple programs. On the other hand, if you were to put your filters into a DLL you could always have them implement an inferface that you QI for when you need it.

In my work, I had to play movies that were stored within a proprietary archive file. I made a source that had an output pin that described its media format properly, and the rest worked automatically, if I wanted it to. I also needed to use a proprietary renderer for the video. All this stuff was built into the .exe which was written in C++
