#357 Build Error ffdshow [r4530] in vs2013

[rhfritz]

I'm trying to build ffdshow [r4530] in vs2013. If you're interested I'll send/contribute the sln & vcxproj files. Regardless, I've got the solution converted and all the projects building but ffdshow itself. The error below is typical of the kind I've seen moving forward from vs2010. The compiler wants explicit type casting to resolve ambiguity. But in this case, the use of templates has me at a loss. I'm hoping that one of you with greater familiarity with the code can recommend what I expect is a simple cast. If there's something more that you might need, please let me know. Thanks!

The error is:

I've given up trying to get ffdshow to build in vs2013. The source file Tuple.h defines a tuple class and some derivatives which have name collisions with several visual studio 2013 built-in classes. Renaming the ffdshow classes to eliminate the collision was more than I was interested in pursuing at this point.
