How to convert Videos to highest quality in N97?

Can someone share some methods that they transfer high quality videos into N97?

I tried some converters but quality is not that good...

Thanks.

Well I use ffmpeg on my ubuntu box to convert videos using the following command

ffmpeg -i "input.avi" -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1024k -s 640x360 "output.mp4"

Thanks, bacardiandwater. That was exactly what I needed for my n97 mini😊

For others wondering how to convert videos for nokia n97 mini in linux (i'm using linux mint isadora):

1. First, install ffmpeg and dependencies. See this tutorial (qt-faststart is not needed):
http://ubuntuforums.org//forum/thread/786095/

2.
ffmpeg -i "input.avi" -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1024k -s 640x360 "output.mp4"

The good thing is this command can be embedded in a shell script, and the whole process can be automated! All downloaded videos are unrar'ed, converted and uploaded to my phone every night at 3 AM 😊

i use XViDforPSP 5.0 for this, free converter, has option for 5800, same reso as the n97. converts great

I have used AVS on a Windows OS, it can be custom configured as desired and I have had very positive results with excellent quality.

I am going to try the Linux option though as I have Mint on a USB stick 😊
