DirectShow filters using Media SDK

Hello,

I found this article with samples covering how to implement the Media SDK in a transcode filter. 

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/media-transcoding-sample-using...

My question is why were the DShow filter samples removed/deprecated from the media samples or tutorial samples?  For my application, I'm stuck using DirectShow and those samples did almost exactly what we need.  YUV ==> H264 ==> mux with AAC audio ==> .MP4.   

Is this still a valid solution for me, or would you suggest a different/better approach?

Thanks,  

Doug
