After digging around allot and many test encodings later I managed to encode video for my Nokia E61. This method requires that you have quicktime pro, I played around with ffmpeg a bunch but wasn't able to find the correct settings. I could to go back and figure it out with ffmpeg but if it works with quicktime why bother?
Load the movie in quicktime, go up to File -> Export, select "Movie to MPEG4", then click on "Options" and apply the settings above. Pay attention to the text at the bottom of this dialog box, the settings for the audio tab are listed but now shown in the gui part. Feel free to play with the data rate to suit your file size vs quality tastes, 500 kbits/sec is probably on the high side but what can I say, I'm a quality whore.
Over the last week or so I've been playing with Asterisk, the open source PBX. I've always been compelled to check out Asterisk but without a sip phone and already using skype there wasn't much point. However, since I picked up a Nokia E61 I now own a sip compliant handset. The dream of seamless integration between cellular, home and office phones from one handset became within reach. I've gotten it working at the office and at home but haven't yet figured out how to connect my skype to it as a outbound trunk. Although not totally perfect, the combination comes very, very close to truly ubiquitous voice communications.
