Converting a video file for a Nokia mobile.

My lad has an annoying mobile phone that does more than make and receive calls. He wanted to watch the Mighty Boosh on his phone and like a foolish Pa I converted the videos to 3gp for him.

Now they play on his phone. He'll no doubt ask again so here is what I did to convert from avi to 3gp:

ffmpeg -i eels-up-inside-ya.avi -acodec libfaac -ab 12.65k -ac 1 -ar 16000 -vcodec h263 -s qcif -r 15 eels-up-inside-ya.3gp

NOTE: Had to mess around with my ffmpeg install to get it to work...
