no preview in either Tmonitor/avsmon

[videoron]

I have used tmonitor and avsmon in my script in various places in the the script without success. Also I have tried using a variable such as clip and placing clip in the parenthesis. I get the clip information window and the top of the preview window but no video. I have searched the forum (i.e. word search for tmonitor or avsmon) however there was no discussion on how to solve this.

my script
DirectShowSource("Christmas1993c.avi").DelayAudio(-0.75)+\
DirectShowSource("Christmas1993d.avi")+\
DirectShowSource("Christmas1993e.avi")+\
DirectShowSource("Christmas1993f.avi")+\
DirectShowSource("Christmas1993g.avi")
ConvertToYV12(Interlaced=true)
MSharpen(25, 90, true, false, false)
BiCubicResize(720,480)
TMonitor() or Monitorfilter()

pc is running xp, capturing vhs with virtualdub and pinnacle dc10+ card, encoding to dvd using quenc.

thanks for helping!

Tmonitor will pop a dialog box when the script is loaded into a viewer or encoder that causes AviSynth to create a script environment. Starting the encoder should start the process, loading to MPC or any one of avsFilmCutter's viewers should as well. Also your scripts should function properly without tmonitor or tmonitor will fail too.

Tmonitor allows viewing when your script and AviSynth are producing video.

good luck

I do get a dialog box when I start the encode in Quenc, which allows for turning on the preview and clip information windows. I click on the preview window button and the preview window appears with the blue header on top and a border around but no video appears. my desk top(i.e. icons) appears in the preview window. If I move the preview window the image goes with it, like a screenshot of whatever is inside the preview window. Same thing occurs if I load script into MPC. My script do function properly, I have encoded several hours of video using Quenc and this script. I just remove the tmonitor/avsmon filters in the script.
