Thanks, Reimar .. I did basically the same .. duplicating my jpeg's
under different names, ad nauseam .. but isn't that going to be a huge
waste of space?  Say .. if my jpeg's are like 2Meg each .. ??

Isn't there a way to tell mencoder .. please create a video that
switches the display between jpeg1 and jpeg2 every 10 seconds for
instance .. and exits when my .wav file has finished playing?
