I have cheap feature phone which can record videos in 3gp file format. When I upload such video to computer and inspect it with mediainfo it gives mysteriuos output:

The video codec is "JPEG". When I play video in Totem Video Player, codec name is "JPEG still images". I tested that my phone doesn't support MJPEG and mediainfo shows that codec is (also) identified as MPEG-4. When I opened video in hex editor it appeared as sequences of JPEG images, which shouldn't be possible (3gp container supports H.263 and MPEG-4 not MJPEG). On the other hand sample video converted to 3gp MPEG-4 gives this mediainfo output:

So as you can see technically it is also MPEG-4. Totem identifies this second video as MPEG-4. Second video is playable on my phone. My question is how can I make/encode my own 3gp video with "jpeg" video codec? Chipset of my phone is sc6531e (datasheet is avaliable in internet)
