Posting Audio on YouTube with background Image
I was going to post my podcast on youTube, maybe someone random would run across it why not.
This process had some needs, I needed to make a video, out of audio. To make it less boring I took my RCE logo as a static background image. To do this I went to my usual tools mencoder and ffmpeg. Turns out mencoder did what I needed though not easy.
Mencoder has an easy way to make a video out of a sequence of images, if you use just one image, you get a 1 second video with 1 frame (fps set to 1). To get around this, you could just set the frames per second to 1/runtime of your mp3. But while it would encode it, things like QuickTime crash (includes finder which I am proud of breaking).
The solution (given to me by roo on the IRC channel) was to make that 1 second video, copy it in 5 times to make a 5 second video, use that 5 times to make a 25 second etc. Retarded I know, but it worked. I made a small (dumb) script that automates this. It uses

Anyone know how to get more than 10 minutes allowed on youTube?
