Something like: (this is for NTSC, framerate different, the image size would be different for PAL, and at least the '-n n' option should be '-n p' in mpeg2enc) Get a 720x480 jpeg image. Turn image into couple second mpeg video: # jpeg2yuv -n 100 -I p -f 29.97 -j my-pic.jpg | mpeg2enc -f8 -n n -o my-mpeg.m2v Turn your giant audio blob into *raw* PCM 48000 sample rate, 2 channel, 16 bit, and apparantly *big endian*. (not a wav.) Name it 'something.lpcm' The extention matters. An editor like rezound, or sox, or ecasound can do this. (youll know if the endian-ness wasnt right, it will sound like loud static) Mux them together: # mplex -f8 -L 48000:2:16 -o my-vid.mpg my-mpeg.m2v something.lpcm (you can play the mpg at this point, but the player might stop after the short video runs out...but, the sound should be there and a dvd player should keep going.) Make the dvd image: (This is the dead simplest example; you can get much more fancy, but Im not going into that now.) # mkdir dvd # dvdauthor -o dvd my-vid.mpg # dvdauthor -T -o dvd Test it: xine dvd:/full/path/to/wherever/dvd/ (and I mean full path, and dont forget the trailing slash) Burn it: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video dvd/ If you have problems or want to persue the question in another forum, https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dvdauthor-users mailing list might be a good place.
