I followed advice from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5887311/ffmpeg-1-image-1-audio-file-1-video to create https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIT8kgv-D8w .
Here's the command I used: ffmpeg -loop 1 -i INPUTIMAGE.png -i INPUTAUDIO.ogg \ -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -c:a aac \ -strict experimental -b:a 192k -pix_fmt yuv420p \ -shortest OUTPUTVIDEOWITHSTILLIMAGE.mp4 I know more or less jack squat about video/audio encoding. Did I do this the right way? I just kept running commands until I accidentally produced something that I could upload to YouTube. (please reply-all -- I meant to crosspost to all three lists. If this isn't kosher, just say so)
