Sorry, the above does work if you are in the correct folder. If not you get a misleading error from FFmpeg (Could not find codec parameters (Video: mjpeg)

ffmpeg -loop_input -t time_in_seconds -i “/home/peter/temp/image.jpg” -i “/home/peter/temp/audio.mp3″ -y -f vob -r 25 -target dvd “/home/peter/temp/video.VOB

does exactly what I want. That is audio with on screen lyrics.

Thanks Dobo

Hi Dobo,
I tried that :-

peter@peter-desktop:~$ ffmpeg -loop_input -t 1710 -i DrawMeClose.jpg -i DrawMeClose.wav -y -f flv -r 1 DrawMeClose.flv

@ Peter Knight.

I came across this while looking to do something similar.
ffmpeg -loop_input -t 1710 -i your.jpg -i your.mp3 -y -f flv -r 1 video.flv

ffmpeg should be on your system by default.If not, just apt-get it.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I have gone from ubuntu 8.04 to 9.04 (a fresh installation). Qdvdauthor worked fine in 8.04 but wont in 9.04 so I have looked for other methods.
I tried dvd-slideshow but it hangs without any error messages. (Note it did not crash only hung but system monitor showed it sleeping)
Next I tried Open Movie Editor which looks very nice. I could drag in a jpg and a wav and adjust timings and play. Project Render only offers Quicktime DV and when selected Open Movie Editor crashes. It wont import mp3 but Qdvdauthor will import mp3. Any ideas?
Thanks
Peter

Any experiences how this app compares to avidemux? It’s been around for a while.

Sweet! I have been trying to find a video editor for Ubuntu that actually works for a long time! I’ll definitely give this a try!
