Right, so what you need is to remux and potentially re-encode (if
they're in H.264). And since you say you can already

you have a way of doing that already. (Presumably using
ffmpeg/avconv?)

So you just need to get that command into the --command option of
get_iplayer:

       --command, -c <command>
              Run  user  command after successful recording using args such as
              <pid>, <name> etc

Does that seem to be pointing you in the right direction, or have I
misunderstood the nature of your problem?
