I just did a couple of things to get my own videos on 3gp format so I can watch them on my cellphone :D !!!.


1- Install ffmpeg

Code:

 USE='amr encode imlib v4l x264' emerge -v /usr/portage/media-video/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r2.ebuild 



2- Check if the libamr_nb and libamr_nw flags are available after install
Code:

  ffmpeg -formats |grep amr
FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
  configuration: --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --shlibdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-static --enable-shared --cc=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --disable-mmx --disable-altivec --disable-debug --disable-dv1394 --disable-ffplay --disable-network --disable-opts --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libogg --enable-liba52 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab --enable-libogg --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-libamr-nb --enable-libamr-wb --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-swscaler --disable-strip
  libavutil version: 49.4.0
  libavcodec version: 51.40.4
  libavformat version: 51.12.1
  built on Nov  2 2007 11:55:15, gcc: 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)
 DE amr             3gpp amr file format
 DEA    libamr_nb
 DEA    libamr_wb
 


If you dont see those babies (libamr_nb and libamr_wb) there is something wrong

3- I just made a little script to try to make easier the job

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#nokia-encoder.sh file
filein=$1
fileout=$2

#Check ffmpeg's compilation flags before using this script

ffmpeg -i "${filein}" -f 3gp -vcodec h263 -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -b 120 -acodec libamr_nb -ar 8000 -ab 10.2k -ac 1 -s 128x96 "${fileout}.3gp"



Usage:

Code:
./nokia-encoder.sh Filein.avi Fileout.3gp



It would be enough, enjoy!!! :D

Here is same script basically but for my Sony Ericsson k700i, posting here incase I loose my script again :
You get roughly 1 minute per MB with these settings, slightly better, your standard 20-22min series episode takes around 15MB.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# File : to3gp.sh script for Sony Ericsson with screensize 176x144 (such as k700i).
# Usage : to3gp.sh filename.avi
# Generates a .3gp file with same name as the .avi

FILE=$1
shift

rm -f "$FILE".3gp
ffmpeg \
    -i "$FILE" \
    -qmin 5 \
    -qmax 8 \
    -ar 8000 \
    -ac 1 \
    -acodec libamr_nb \
    -vcodec h263 \
    -s 176x144 \
    -r 12 \
    -b 120 \
    -ab 12200 \
    "$FILE".3gp

I've made a little script for my girlfriend, so she can easly convert video for her SE k750i. Also used h263 for video as mentioned before. The script also uses mplayer/mencoder before ffmpeg and (thanks to that) it supports more codecs.

There's also a little "TODO", but I don't know when it would be done. (-;

for the z6 you could use mp4 instead of 3gp, more quality for sure
