Program to convert a JPG file to M2V file using audio track time.

Basically, this program acts as a frontend for other programs (Ffmpeg, Mpgtx, MediaInfo, Requant, ChapterGen & MJPEG Tools), to turn an image file into am M2V video file, using the duration of a companion audio track file.

Non JPG image files can be converted (if possible) to JPG.

Resulting M2V file can be muxed with the Audio file into a M2TS blu-ray video file, using a program like tsMuxer, for playing on PC or TV (PS3 etc), or into a DVD (VOB) folder structure using a program like MuxMan, or an MKV file using a program like MKVMerge.

(v1.1) Improvement to check for MediaInfo path (first use). Missing information added to Information dialog (CTRL key use, etc).

(v1.2) Frames to be created, now displayed before GO is clicked. Quick file browse CTRL key option for last used audio & image paths. Premature quit is now detected (i.e. user cancelled) and reported, etc. Feedback modified.

(v1.3) Many improvements, including the use of multiple images and a better final M2V file.

(v1.4) Improvements, warnings & corrections added. Embedding of images option added, to either a color or image background. Options window now completed and all options are accessible. Support added for NTSC. Options for browsing and viewing. Free Drive Space checked at stages. Main window widened. Multiple image adding & relocation of entries, etc. Chapter text files created. GO button renamed to CREATE. Improved MediaInfo CLI detection.

(v1.5) Project name can be renamed using SHIFT and name selection. If an image file is missing, but listed, then a white (red text) image is displayed.

(v1.6) Joinwav added to program for joining stereo WAV files. Modes added for creating in stages or re-doing a failed process, etc. Lots of improvements and some minor bugfixes.

(v1.7) Added importing of a project INI file, by drag & drop on the program executable. Last Results now written to Project file as well, and recalled from that instead, if existing. Adjustments implemented for Time Taken, in Modes. Indicator added to main program title if PAL or NTSC. Added button to open program folder. Added advice about created sub-folders. tsMuxer chapter file fix is now optional. Bugfixes.

(v1.8) Command-line Editor facility added for Ffmpeg & MJPEG Tools. Added an Estimate to Last Results after reworking that code, which now includes an Informative Query prompt when starting Create. Information dialogs updated & improved. Bugfixes.

(v1.9) Recoding method has been changed, to improve final quality with no more flickering (shimmering), which occurred on some images. Previous method can be restored by editing an INI entry (Create M2V section). Bugfixes.
