That's only re-muxing, which already fails for OP in get_iplayer.  The 
simplest form of transcoding (with current Windows installer version of 
get_iplayer - ffmpeg path will change in upcoming release):

"C:\Program 
Files\get_iplayer\FFmpeg\ffmpeg-0.8-win32-static\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i 
inputfile.flv -f mp4 -y outfile.mp4

All on one, of course.  If you're going to do a lot of transcoding, you 
may want to look at WinFF or Handbrake or one of the many other video 
converters out there.
