MPEG is normally used for video (MP3 excepted) but if JPEG is OK then 
PIL
should do what you need. Read about it here:

Most of the mpeg libraries seem to be for decoding or extracting
information only.

You might find that its simpler to use the ImageMagick (not Python)
toolset does what you want.
