Thanks, Martin. 

You are talking about converting jpeg into mpeg movies, but I was talking
about viewing jpeg pictures directly by DVD player. Many DVD players
claim that they can do it, e.g.:

DVD/CDG/DVD-R/DVCD/DVD-RW/JPEG/VCD/MP3/SVCD/CD-R/CD-RW/CD/Karaoke CD

DVD
    * Picture Zoom
    * JPEG Picture Viewer

And mine support mp3 discs and jpeg picture discs...

Thanks
