encode long single picture mpeg2

[hbbq]

I would like to encode a mpeg2 video (m2v) from one single picture, that only shows this picture for say about one hour, I've tried using mpeg2enc (+jpeg2yuv) but it takes quite a long time

One other approach could be to use mpeg2enc to encode a short movie (2 sec) and then use some joining utility over and over again 'til I'll have reached my desired time

The thing is that i want to use command line tools or tools that you can automate is some way, I've allready tried mpgtx but it creates sequence end codes in every merge point, and then i can't multiplex with mplex

So one third approach could be to remove the sequence end codes from the m2v file (I've done this with ReStream and it worked, but i can't seem to automate ReStream or pass parameters to it)

Has anyone got any idea of what I could do?

Hmmm, not elegant but could work: Try using AviSynth and an AVS Script to display the picture for as long as needed and then encode with QuEnc. That could all be done from the command line...

well it's not the thing that i can't do it with mpeg2enc and jpeg2yuv (it's just to repeat the image with jpeg2yuv), the thing is that it takes very long time to encode when there actually are no movements just a still picture

True, but that's because mpeg2enc is very slow. QuEnc is a lot faster.

Well, I can't seem to get ReJig to mux my files in command line mode (it seems it can only do "file mode" from command line and not "dvd author")
