Not sure if this will help you or not:

Managed to solve my own problem, for anyone who is interested a very handy little program called SUPER which is freeware and available from http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html (download link at bottom of page)

It has tons of settings, perhaps you can find better ones, but I find best results from setting it to:

Container: MP4
Video: MP4
Audio: AAC

Then video settings:
Size: 352x288
Aspect: 4:3
Frame/Sec: 15

Then set the bitrate to what you desire, 128kbps will produce about a MB per minute of video but is rather blocky on moving scenes, 144 is a little better, about 7meg for a 5min vid, but if you really want to impress your friends do it at 192kbps, it really makes a difference, very sharp in all but the fastest moving scences, about 9meg for 5 mins. Obviously, the higher you set it, the bigger the file, the better the quality, not sure what the upper bitrate limit the N70 can support however.

As for audio, its just preference, I tend to use 44100 at 96kbps for music videos, 22050 at 64kbps for voice (like TV programs).

Hope this is of help to some people.
Enjoy watching yor favourite films on your N70!
