Is it possible to give still images a duration for Blu-ray?

When it comes to creating DVD compliant disc's, one of the facilities I really like about MuxMan is its ability to import still images (.bmp file) and give them a duration (run-time). Like this: - Is it possible to do the same kind of thing when creating Blu-ray compliant disc's? Cheers

With the Scenarist Still Image Encoder, you can encode a Still to Movie of a defined duration, but that file will be larger than an encoded still frame - it actually creates a video clip of that duration. If you have a Still Image inside Scenarist, you can say whether the Still is held for a finite or infinite duration, but I *think* the finite duration is up to 255s - I'm not in front to Scenarist to double check.

You can create a blu-ray compliant clip of 5000 frames from a picture using this script and encode with x264.exe Code:

Thanks Sharc, Is the output video stream 1920x1080? Or can you input 1920x1080 images and generate a 1920x1080 output? 5000 frames at 23.976 fps is around 208 seconds 3 mins 28 secs. Thinking about it, that's not very long...

Output frame resolution is same as the picture. If the picture (.bmp, .jpg) is 1920x1080 then the stream will be 1920x1080. Simply play the script in MPC-HC or VirtualDub for testing. You can also encode a sequence of pictures and create an anime. .

Many thanks...

Out of interest, is the provision of frame repeats supported in the Blu-ray specification?
