Convert videos for Android (Samsung Galaxy)

My Android phone doesn't support DivX/XviD. To play videos on it. I need to convert them to MP4. Taking a note for myself if I need it later.

$ ffmpeg -i input_video.avi -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -acodec libfaac -s 400x240 -ab 128k output_video.mp4

400x240 is the phone's screen resolution.

[Edit] Good parameters for high quality MPEG4 encoding:

-mbd rd -flags +mv4+aic -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300

I tried these, but got lost in the options.

Now I use handbrake. It detects the best output options and converts the video to MP4. The output video quality has always been higher than the one I made using these commands.
