[MPlayer-DOCS] to make a 5 sec video from a SINGLE image

[Jim Shupert]

Friends

I see where one can make a video from several jpg or pngs

is it possible to make a 5 sec dv avi from a single png


I tried -loop_input , like in ffmpeg

this did not work ( it ,likely , is very wrong )

mencoder mf://frame001.png -mf w=720:h=480:fps=30:type=png -loop_input 
-t 5 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=dv:-oac copy -o output.avi

my goal is to make a file.avi  w dv codec and silent pcm audio , :05 
long from a 720x480 png or jpg

thanks
