There are many ways to get video onto your E61 or E62, here they are:
DivX Mobile (DivX player for E61 if you don’t like RealPlayer and 3gp file format) MyMobileClips (an online video converter)
TMPGEnc 4.0 (according to Techmundo.org somewhat better than Super because it uses DivX player instead of the standard RealPlayer)
SmartMovie (known from older versions of S60)
And finally perhaps the most talked about SUPER (Daniel at e61life.com prefers this versus DivX)
Later I will compare the different ways and tell you My favorite but for now you can tell us your favorite by posting it in the comments.

I use ffmpeg:
mp4 in 3gp container
189kbs
aac audio
ffmpeg -i /input.avi -y -threads 2 -map 0.0:0.0 -f 3gp -vcodec mpeg4 -b 189 -aspect 16:9 -s 320×176 -r 15 -g 12 -me epzs -acodec aac -ab 64 -ar 11025 -ac 2 -map 0.1:0.1 -benchmark /output.3gp
until ffmpegx http://ffmpegx.com/ has an mp4 in 3gp container option, then i won’t have to bother with the cli anymore
Plays perfect in realplayer btw

kXe: I’m using darwinports ffmpeg version SVN-r6399.
I get several errors:
Unknown codec ‘aac’
Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1
Which ffmpeg are you using?

smartmovie is a very good choice for those that do not want to learn dozens of settings
I also like to support the author, he is on the front with native apps for S60V3.

Thanks Michael, I’ve added smartmovie to the list of video apps

[...] This is the long waited for Video Program comparison (for those who check my blog regularly). After I hinted about this coming in my first post about video converters/players for the Nokia E61 I’ve had a busy time. First of all, my computer wouldn’t let me signin to GMail, WordPress or any other site. I tried everything (well at least almost). Finally I reinstalled Windows. Then I noticed the problem was with Norton (which I also reinstalled). The process had to be done all over again! Then I purchased McAfee. Now it’s all working. While it didn’t work I had to update from library. I read other blogs using WidSets (works very well!). What’s awesome is that I lost none of my data! Everything shows even after the reinstallation of Windows. huh! [...]

In my humble opinion Makayama’s Media Studio for Nokia is the best video converter for the E61. And the only one that can go straight from DVD to Nokia. http://www.makayama.com/dvdtonokia.html

Thanks Victor for telling us about Makayama’s Media Studio, I’ll try the demo and report back asap…

Does anyone know if there is a Mac video converter? Any help would be wicked! Rob

Does anyone know whether you can create chapters with 3GP?
My problem is that if I create a movie and need to stop playback, I can’t skip through the movie to my last location when I resume (with RealPlayer anyway).
