When selecting full screen, the Video Monitor application assumes that you have another display connected to the AV card to view the incoming signal on. To get the Video Monitor window back to your display, remove the Video Monitor Preferences file from the Preferences folder.
When digitizing video on the Power Macintosh AV configurations, a monitor should be attached to the AV card's DB-15 connector for better performance (up to 30 frames per second opposed to 1-2 frames per second). Fusion Recorder and Video Monitor are assuming a monitor is attached to this port. This is why the window moves to the monitor attached to the AV card. The performance is better with a monitor attached to the AV card because all video processing can happen on the card avoiding the bottlenecks that occur when moving digitized data from the card to the system bus and on to built-in video.
