    convert videos to 3gp

    Hello all!
    I am looking for an application that can convert a mpeg / ogg or any other video format into 3gp, so that I can view them on my phone. Tried to search the Adept_Manager list, but to no avail. Also tried searching the forums, but no one seems to be looking for something like this.

    Does any one know of such a converter? Or is there any utility directly built into Kaffeine or something, which I am not aware of?

      Two programs for video conversion :

      man ffmpeg (in konqueror-> man:ffmpeg)
      NAME
      ffmpeg - FFmpeg video converter

      SYNOPSIS
      ffmpeg [[infile options][-i infile]]... {[outfile options] outfile}...

      DESCRIPTION
      If no input file is given, audio/video grabbing is done.

      As a general rule, options are applied to the next specified file. For
      example, if you give the -b 64 option, it sets the video bitrate of the
      next file. The format option may be needed for raw input files.

      By default, FFmpeg tries to convert as losslessly as possible: It uses
      the same audio and video parameters for the outputs as the one speci‐
      fied for the inputs.
      man mencoder (in konqueror-> man:mencoder)
      NAME
      mplayer - movie player
      mencoder - movie encoder
      MEncoder wiki
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder
      MEncoder is a free command line video decoding, encoding and filtering tool released under the GNU General Public License. It is a close sibling to MPlayer and can convert all the formats that MPlayer understands into a variety of compressed and uncompressed formats using different codecs.

        Typing "man:ffmpeg" in Konqueror on my machine returns the following message
        KDE Man Viewer Error
        No man page matching to ffmpeg found.

        Check that you have not mistyped the name of the page that you want. Be careful that you must take care about upper case and lower case characters!
        If everything looks correct, then perhaps you need to set a better search path for man pages, be it by the environment variable MANPATH or a matching file in the directory /etc .
        "man:mencoder" gives the same result.

        the solution provided at the above two sites are too geeky for me... I mean, I am not so conversant with running scripts and all. I will sure learn these when I find time, but in the meanwhile, ain't there any package which can be installed right away and used as it is?
