By default, get-iplayer has produced .mp4 files for a long time, and
it still does.  So there's something in the way you've configured it
that's producing .ts files.  most likely you've asked it to produce
raw files.

what's the result of this command in your configuration?
$ get_iplayer --prefs-show
