IltmmPlay::SetPreferredFilter Example for C++

// This function does the following: 
// 1) Sets all filters to LEAD Default filters 
// 2) Then resets all preferred filters to NULL, or does not use any preferred filter. 
// 3) Then sets LEAD H264 Decoder (3.0) as LEAD H264 Preferred Decompressor using its Friendly Name 
// 4) Gets the preferred H.264 Decompressor display name
