As a start: #Create an uncompressed avi-file from all the PNG files in the current directory (fps defines the time) mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=800:h=600:fps=25:type=png -ovc raw -oac copy -o output.avi #Now add sound using: mencoder output.avi -audiofile audio.wav -oac copy -ovc copy -o output_waudio.avi #and now encode it into a dvd/svcd compliant format using: 13.6.5.1. PAL DVD mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf scale=720:576,\ harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:\ vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:acodec=ac3:\ abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 \ -o movie.mpg movie.avi 13.6.5.5. PAL SVCD mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=xsvcd -vf \ scale=480:576,harddup -srate 44100 -af lavcresample=44100 -lavcopts \ vcodec=mpeg2video:mbd=2:keyint=15:vrc_buf_size=917:vrc_minrate=600:\ vbitrate=2500:vrc_maxrate=2500:acodec=mp2:abitrate=224 -ofps 25 \ -o movie.mpg movie.avi You need to adjust the filenames as i just copied the stuff from the mencoder manual, which you really should read, it's very interesting and tells a lot of stuff about various video-formats.
