Thanks for your code. I realise how much work that was.

I placed something similar into my get_iplayer script last week
following your mail about adts.

On Vista I was getting sporadic "xxx-temp.mp4" files left over in my
directories despite the --overWrite option being set. Looking at these
temp files it seemed that some atoms were not being set.

Placing the arguments to atomic parsley in double quotes seemed to
help. 
 push @cmd, "--artwork", "\"".$prog->{thumbfile}."\"" if -f 
	$prog->{thumbfile}; 

Could just be my weird cygwin/bash/vista command shell ...
