It uses standard MMC media.

AFAIK .3gp is the only format supported by the 6230. It seems to
be pretty compatible as I was able to play files produced on the
phone, on friends K700 and O2 XDAIIs phones.

Hmmm, we sortof figured that. I guess the main question is, are they
compatible? will a RSMMC fit and work whereever an MMC works?

A quick google search on "rsmmc compatible mmc" yields this from
the second hit.

"Reduced size MultiMediaCard (RS-MMC) has a form factor of 24mm by
18mm, approximately half the size of a standard MMC. With the use of
an adapter, the RS-MMC is also compatible with devices using the
standard MMC. (RSMMC + adapter = standard size MMC)."

The Nokia Multimedia Converter is the software that you'd want from Nokia.

It available as a free download once you've registered on the forums.

Alternatively you could use a REGISTERED copy of QuickTime to encode .3gp
compatible videos for the 6230.
