I should have mentioned that with Ubuntu 11.10, both Ubuntu-supplied 
ffmpoeg 0.7.2 and PPA-supplied ffmpeg work OK for me, which is what I 
would expect.  Something to try if you're still stymied:  Download an HD 
programme with get_iplayer (from PPA) using --raw option, which will 
generate a FLV (flash video) file.  Then run "ffmpeg -i <flv_file>" and 
"ffmpeg-static -i <flv_file>" and compare the output from the two 
commands.  If either version doesn't identify the input file's video 
stream as 1280x720, post the "ffmpeg -i" output here and we can see if 
something looks amiss.
