I've been searching with google to find the The mf:// scheme accepts a list file. Create a file with the filename of the image you want for each frame, one per line, then feed it to mf like so: mencoder mf://@framelist.txt <options> (if you named it framelist.txt). In this case, you'd just name the same file over and over for however many frames you need.
