Hmmm with a standard menu.jpg collection that might be possible. BTW I tried 
what you suggested and it failed for whatever reason:

starting dvdauthor -v 4:3 -c 
0,10:00,20:00,30:00,40:00,50:00,01:00:00,01:10:00,01:20:00,01:30:00,01:40:00,01:50:00,02:00:00,02:10:00,02:20:00,02:30:00,02:40:00,02:50:00,03:00:00 
-o /mnt/vdr/video0/convert/JLo//DVD /mnt/vdr/video0/convert/JLo/remuxfifo
mplexing file to fifo
should execute nice -19  -i /mnt/vdr/video0/convert/JLo//e0.mpv -p 
/mnt/vdr/video0/convert/JLo//c0.mpa -m d  and put it to the fifo
now the command is nice -19  -i /mnt/vdr/video0/convert/JLo//e0.mpv -p 
/mnt/vdr/video0/convert/JLo//c0.mpa -m d  -o 
/mnt/vdr/video0/convert/JLo/remuxfifo
-19: invalid option -- i
Try `nice --help' for more information.
finished mplexing

Obviously nothing is mplexed and dvdauthor is waiting infinite on the fifo. 
From the syntax guess it wants to use tcmplex, but that isn't installed here. 
mplex should be better for that task (using -f8).
