hi.
after long days of testing and re-testing, this is my preset for best-looking videos on my Sony Ericsson W760i.
according to sony ericsson's specs, it'll also work with their C510, C702, C901, C902, C903, C905, G502, G700, G705, G900, K660, K770, K790, K800, K810, K850, M600, P1, P990, S500, T650, T700, T707, W508, W580, W595, W705, W715, W760, W830, W850, W880, W890, W900, W902, W910, W950, W960, W980, W995, Z750, Z770, Z780.
it's an MP4-contained XVID with nero's AAC. I haven't used H.264, since it seems that the device doesn't like playing these files on hi-res (320x240) with high bitrates (over 150kbps), so you get better-looking videos with no lag with MPEG4 without AVC.
I've used ffmpeg for both multiplexing and remuxing; using mp4box doesn't allow the device to recognize the video file, and not enabling remux causes horrible sync/no sound problems. a mound of frustration there.
apparently the device doesn't like b-frames, GMC or quarter pixels; according to the spec MPEG4 Visual Simple profile should be used.
you can play with the quality sliders of both the video and the audio, and of course change it into bitrate-based.
have fun.
