I want to add an "extra" to a DVD that contains a large number of still pictures. I want this to take the absolute minimum space on the DVD. Ideally, each picture would be one frame of video and would display indefinitely until the user presses the chapter advance button. What is the best way to take the absolute minumum amount of space per picture?

[Edit]

No one replied to this post yet, so I thought I would add something.

I experimented and found that a picture compilation is the worst possible way to put still (non-animated) pictures into a DVD, if you are concerned about space. Thirty pictures (with no soundtrack) resulted in a VIDEO_TS folder that contained 79 Mbytes!!

I then started a new project, and put the exact same thirty pictures into a Music Compilation, and it only 9% of the space, or 6.8 Mbytes. It prepared a lot faster too (about 10x faster).

I am sure there is some advantage to a picture compilation, or Sony wouldn't have invented it and called it "picture compilation," but I'm not sure why I would use it. Certainly for my immediate needs, the music compilation is the way to go.

Ah, I just found another thread that explains it all. Don't know why I didn't find this when I searched earlier:
