mjpegtools has the tools you need. Basically, you convert the correct size jpg to pnm, then feed it into ppmtoy4m, then mpeg2enc to encode it to the correct format, then use mplex to multiplex sound (or silence) and you have a dvd ready mpeg file. It is the same process for the background of a dvd menu. See http://www.tappin.me.uk/Linux/dvd.html#menus for details. Set the -n parameter to ppmtoy4m to the number of frames you need (ie, number of seconds times 25 (frames per second)). Use mencoder on the result if you need something other than mpeg2. Hope this helps Later Lee
