ffmpeg command line for reduce video for a smartphone

[Preston Hagar]

I use

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -threads 4 -i $i -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -r 29.97 -b:v
900k -s 720x404 -acodec libfaac -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2 -async 48000 "$o"

Where $i is the input file and $o is the output filename.

to transcode files for my android tablet.  The file size ends up pretty
small and it is still decent quality for the 10" screen.  You might could
start from that and play with the -b:v (video bitrate) and -s (size).
 Bigger numbers is better quality, but larger file size.
