Cheers. I tried:

--ffmpeg -i My Brother Is an Only Child - - b0160176 default.partial.mp4 -c copy My 
Brother Is an Only Child - - b0160176 default.mp4

in the get_iplayer cmd line and it gave me:

'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch 
file.

Putting get_iplayer at the start resulted in:

Reference to invalid group 0 in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/<C:\Program|Files\g <-- 
HERE et_iplayer\flvstreamer_win32_latest.exe>/ at get_iplayer.pl line 130

neither of which make any sense to me. I'll admit I'm not at all skilled in this sort of 
thing; where am I going wrong?
