Hi rubberman,

You need to encode the JPEG to MPEG as a video so it can show for as long as you want.

I use TMPGEnc to encode, so I'll describe from that perspective - but the principal will be the same:

Set your JPEG as your "Video Source", and either chosen audio or silent audio lasting as long as you want the JPEG to show for. Encode to MPEG2 - either PAL or NTSC, depending on which country you're in.

Once this is done, you can then re-author (something like TMPGEnc DVD Author) the original DVD, and then add in your newly created MPEG2 as the final piece of footage so that it shows at the end.

Hope that helps. Good luck...
