HD playback issue on PS3

Hi,

I recently downloaded Lost Land of the Volcano - Episode 1 HD using
get_iplayer, and this works fine on my PC, but the PS3 doesn't like
it. The video plays too fast, and there's no audio.

Is there some specific H.264 profile for the PS3, or other encoding
trick needed to get it to work (using ffmpeg on Gentoo), bearing in
mind that I want to keep it HD if possible?

Here's what mediainfo says about the file:
