Issue with playing metafile to device context then saving to bitmap. What I missing?

[mega Kluge]

Long day. Sure I'm missing something simple. Anyway, I have a valid old school metafile (not enhanced metafile) in the form of a LPMETAFILEPICT. It's valid and everything looks good.

What I'm trying to do is save it to a bitmap. On my first try, I play it to the device context and get a black box. OK, I read somewhere on google to play the metafile on to a white bitmap. I fill the bitmap w/ white and I still get a black box. This should be simple, and maybe I'm missing something dumb.

Can anyone point me the right direction? (This is a console app, btw)

Here's what I'm doing:

                HDC hdc =   CreateCompatibleDC(NULL); // NULL = Display DC.
		CDC* pdc = CDC::FromHandle(hdc);
		CRect r = new CRect(100, 170, 270, 230);

		CDC memDC;
		memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pdc);
		CBitmap bitmap;
		bitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pdc, r.Width(), r.Height());
		CBitmap* pOldBmp = memDC.SelectObject(&bitmap);
		memDC.FillSolidRect(r, RGB(255, 255, 255)); // Fill bitmap w/ white(?)
		memDC.PlayMetaFile(pMetaPict->hMF); // my LPMETAFILEPICT
		pdc->BitBlt(r.left, r.top, r.right - r.left, r.bottom - r.top, &memDC, r.left, r.top, SRCCOPY);
		CImage img;
		img.Attach((HBITMAP)bitmap.Detach());
		img.Save(_T("C:\\savedBitmap.bmp"), Gdiplus::ImageFormatBMP);

All I get is a black box.
