Here is the same clip using mpegable
http://www.pocketpcthai.com/temp/Jeon_JiHyun_mpegable.3gp

All setting are optimized for best quality and in the same basis (or as close as possible) with XviD encode.

Frame by frame comparison:[top to bottom: XviD/PVAuthor/mpegable]



Note:
- mpegable encoder is not registered so there is a logo on the video
- mpegable seems better than PVAuthor but slightly inferior compare to XviD. But its encoder interface is one of the best I have seen (I really like it) and mpeagable also accept AVISynth frameserver input which is rare for commercial encoder.
If you interest in real percieved quality, download the video and compare yourself.

VirtualDubMod is my favorite encoder.

I use mp4box and Quicktime Pro to put xvid avi encoded with virtualdubmod and aac together in 3gp container.

Here are the whole process.
1. encode video in avi format using xvid (use simple profile don't use advanced simple profile) the resolution framrate and bitrate should not exceed the capability of target player. (176x144 15fps not more than 128kbps for K700) [xvid.avi]

2. encode audio, I recommend using quicktime aac mono audio at 32kbps or Nero AAC VBR at thier VBR lowest settings. [aac.mp4]

3.1 using mp4box to convert xvid avi (step 1) to mp4 using this commandline
mp4box -import xvid.avi xvid.mp4

3.2 then merge video with aac audio
mp4box -merge xvid.mp4 aac.mp4 movie.mp4

4. restream mp4 to 3gp format using Quicktime Pro (This step is optional)
- open movie.mp4 in quicktime
- choose export save as .3gp
- select passtrough for both video and audi (very important)

You will get .3gp file encode using the best mpeg4 video encode (and also on the audio part)

Tried your suggestions and compared to my encodings using X4live

I agree - this way gives optimum quality.

Somewhat more work than simply using X4live with its easy interface - but quality is definately better.

Yep, using XviD to create mobile phone video clip is just pain. But the quality is unmatched and it's free.

mpegabel is a lot easier and also give quite good quality, far better than PVAuthor and Quicktime (note: Quicktime is totally suck)

I totally agree - for a quick conversion of something that doesnt need the ultimate quality but still look reasonably good - X4 live beats pvauthor and quicktime and even sorensen, but best quality is definately using the xvid method (thanks for the info on that method) - Im working on an "automation" process trying out different tools and ways - and writing some batchfiles to make the process easier and quicker.
