I've long wished for a way to do full screen previews in VirtualDub, to get a quick look at my video without the UI chrome. Frameserving directly to a media player has not worked for me. Here's a workaround - put VirtualDub in frame serving mode, save the signpost as *.avi, make an Avisynth script...
CODE
#avisynth
AviSource("signpost filename.avi")
...and open the script in your media player. The script can be retained between previews if the same filename is always used for the signpost.

Alternate, even easier method: save your signpost AVI as *.avs. It seems to work fine with MPC-HC. It shouldn't, but it does!

Note 1: depending on the filters in use, playback may stutter badly - if that's an issue, fall back to encoding a short test video for your preview.
Note 2: you must use VirtualDub's Auxsetup.exe "Install handler" function for this to work. See the Frameserving docs, but ignore the part about saving as *.vdr
.
