Making a still into a movie

[ROBO1964]

I want to take a still picture and then make it an mpeg file for a menu in a VCD.

What is the easiest/best method to make a still frame into a movie?

VCDeasy should be able to handle that for you.

Not only am I perfect but I'm Canadian too!

And all this time I thought I was the only one with that combination of attributes.

I finally figured out in Vegas Video how to do it I made a jpg into a movie but its kinda blurry. Is that normal? Is there a better way to convert it?

I made it an avi with huffyuv compression. It looked OK when small but as soon as I made it full screen it was blurry.

VCDEasy with the VCDImager GUI has to be the easiest...just select the image and convert. I havent tried any other programs for doing this, but its just so simple and quick that I cant imagine a better way. Its also good for creating chapters with entrypoints instead of creating a multisegment VCD which will introduce pauses on playback.

Well I have taken pictures and made into movies and I have used Vegas Video's text tools to make menus. All seem fine at 353x240 but at a larger size they appear blurry on my PC unless I make them a bigger size which won't work for a VCD.

I imagine that would mean that they would be blurry on a VCD. Is that correct and if so how can I get them sharper?
