Thank you!! This makes using "transcode" and "mencoder" in linux much, much, easier.

H.264 produced from Quicktime tends to be hard to play, use the ordinary MPEG-4 codec instead.

A small trick to get constand quality encoding is to first export to a Quicktime movie with mpeg-4 codec set to 50-60% quality and automatic bitrate.
Open the .mov and export it again but to a mpeg-4/3gp with the passthrough option on video and audio.

I recall that it might work if you wrap the h.264 into a 3gp container also.

Cheers.
