Hello

The GraphBuilder_FindFilterByName function in the filtergraph.c file
(quartz.dll) returns E_FAIL if a matching filter was not found. According to the
Microsoft docs at
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms785733.aspx it should
return VFW_E_NOT_FOUND.

Instead of writing such reports I could simply submit the fixed (great fix -
replacing one return value with another :) - still, the specification exists -
it's better to conform it, especially if it is not difficult :)) code but have
no idea how to do that.

Does someone maintains the quartz.dll sources? I suppose there are some parts of
the code that could probably be improved - but those things certainly require
some discussion.

Best regards
Denis Linine
