Download this QVGA clip on your E61 and tell me if you are happy how it looks like, and if yes I will reply with how to do it exactly with QuickTime PRO.

it looks good to me. however, the video i tried to encode was full screen not wide, so maybe that had something to do with it. i'll try the instructions anyway and see what happens. thanks.

Ok, check this screenshot to see how exactly to setup your QuickTime Pro to encode your videos with a good average of quality-size:

320kbps is good for a 4:3 movie encoding (like the one you try to convert) and I would advocate that 290kbps is good for 16:9 videos (like the one in my screenshot above), while 256kbps is enough for super-widescreen movies (like the 'Fantastic Four' trailer in the article).

Just make sure that everything else is as in the screenshot. Both the video and the audio screens are setup as shown.
