Combine Still Image with Audio

[bseos]

What is the best way to combine 1 still Image with an audio track.

I have tried

ffmpeg -loop_input -r 1 -i image.jpg -i audio.flac output.mkv

but it always truncates at the end with this error

truncating packet size of 1024 to 1

.

TMPGEnc Plus with a bitmap image is my personal favorite.

An Avisynth script with a BMP set for the number of frames equalling the audio's length and the framerate you want. Use the encoder that gives the format output you want.

@bseos
If you do want to use FFmpeg.
These commands are OK:-

ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image.jpg -i audio.flac -shortest -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec copy movie1.mkv

ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image.jpg -i audio.flac -shortest -vcodec libx264 -acodec copy movie2.mkv

The suggestion by hech54 is very-good, because for the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 specs it's OK to multiplex an audio stream and 1 I-frame. However I still have not checked if the same "feature" applies to other types of video compression (MPEG-4 ASP, H264, or VC-1)

It should work with any of the MPEG formats, because that is supposed to be explicitly supported.

Qt should also work. All other formats, you'll have to test and see.
