Thanks for this - I found the example by clicking on the http link 
above, of course, which for the benefit of anyone else was:

gst-launch-1.0 mp4mux name=mux ! queue ! filesink location=test.mp4 
filesrc location=image.jpg ! jpegdec ! imagefreeze ! x264enc ! mux. 
filesrc location=audio.mp3 ! mux.

I was unaware of imagefreeze and it looks very relevant.

I had to add a couple of elements to make it link and run, and added 
some small tweaks, giving this which does run:

gst-launch-1.0 mp4mux name=mux ! queue ! filesink 
location=BringThatThing.mp4 filesrc location=IMG_2226.JPG ! jpegdec ! 
imagefreeze ! video/x-raw,framerate=1/10 ! x264enc ! mux. filesrc 
location=btt.mp3 ! decodebin ! voaacenc bitrate=256000 ! mux.

However it appears to run forever, generating an ever growing output 
file. I don't know what is in there because if I stop it with ctrl-C the 
op file won't play.

Any idea what it is doing, and how to stop it doing it?
