create short MPEG video from one JPEG image

[mb508]

I have one image, in JPEG for example, how can I create short video from it, which shows static picture?

I think ffmpeg can do it ... but I don't know how =)

TMPGEnc Plus can do it.....I do it all of the time.

I guess you can use tmpgenc also, just open the jpg but I don't remember how you set how long it should play.

If you want exactly a MPEG Still Picture ( NOT a Video MPEG file), use this: VCDEasy 1.1.5.2 (last freeware version).

I used to create a "silent" .wav file with Windows Sound Recorder (sndrec32.exe)....the pic/vid will last as long as the .wav file does.

I forgot to say, what I need soft working on linux.
And it will be very good if I can work with them via command line.

That's why ffmpeg or mencoder best choice.
Moreover, I know how to create one JPEG picture from some MPEG video using these programs, but I do not know how to create MPEG video from JPEG picture

ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i background1.jpg -vcodec mpeg2video -f rawvideo -b 1000k -maxrate 1000k -bufsize 1000k -y  -r 25 background.mpv -t 5

Will create a 5 second PAL mpeg video stream. Adjust bitrate etc accordingly.

ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i background1.jpg  -b 1000k -maxrate 1000k -bufsize 1000k -y  -r 25 background.mpg -t 5

will create a 5 second PAL program stream...
