Hi Vangelis,
Just showing my ignorance and you have guessed my intentions correctly. 
  It is the MP4 container I was looking for.  It now seems, however, 
that I don't need it as the file plays fine on the renderer I am using.

The business about the time stamp reference is because I have a number 
of radio gip downloads that were messed up due to an error with my set 
up a couple of years back.  As a result these play from start to finish 
but I cannot fast forward to any point mid programme.  Since they are 2 
hours long this makes life difficult as I seldom have an uninterrupted 2 
hours!  My understanding is that time markers are missing but have no 
idea if this is correct analysis or if it can be rectified. If you have 
any suggestions they would be appreciated.

Many thanks for your reply.
Regards from wet and cool Scotland.
