In dvd-video the stopping point is determined by video stream duration, audio is cut off when video ends but not vice-versa. Afaik without specifying the number of frames (-n) in your jpeg2yuv command (and consequently generating an actual video as opposed to a single-frame still) you won't be able to control this aspect of playback. I experimented with this quite a bit during the development of my "audio-only" dvd app (lplex <http://audioplex.sourceforge.net/index.html>, which uses the same mjpegtools>dvdauthor approach as yours for pcm audio), but couldn't get acceptable (i.e. clean and gapless) playback behaviour without giving up space to a dummy video stream.

PS I should say thanks Lawrence, my website's html is lifted largely from your dvd menu animator page :)
