I've found using quicktime you must set video bitrate to 400-500 depending on the file with mp4 improved in order to get non-blocky video. I usually use 96kbit aac + 500kbit video @ 320x240 in mp4 format and the results look good on my E61.
I'm a bit disappointed though, I can't find any easy way to convert DVDs on macs (handbrake is old/outdated, forget it...) If there was some way to rip a DVD into a single mpeg2 file (not conversion, just ripping but instead of into a bunch of VOBs, into one mpeg2 file) and then use quicktime pro to convert that, I'd be happy. Much easier than the mess I have to go through now with Windows/MeGUI/thousands of tools/etc.
That said, I did find for now at least - the quality is better to use the divx codec in quicktime pro to encode and the divx player to playback. I hate realplayer anyways, so it doesn't bother me.
I wish there was a good h.264 player for my E61 - that's my preferred codec.
