HOWTO Encode a video for an LG VX-8300 phone using FFmpeg

This script might work for other phones, as well. I only have access to an LG VX-8300. Presumably, this would work on all phones newer than it.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Encoding ${1}..."
ffmpeg -i "${1}" -acodec aac -ab 64K -ac 1 -ar 22050 \
                 -vcodec mpeg4 -s qcif -r 15 \
                 "${1}.3gp"

This works perfectly for me, reducing certain YouTube videos to something portable ;-)
